[b]This is not hard[/b].  You act like it takes extra people.  It wouldn’t.  The admins are already in the schools.  Just let ECE students and teachers show up and use the classroom.  Simple.

My kids are older, but I appreciate how important in-person ECE is.  It should happen.[/quote]

Yes, it is. And your oversimplification and attempt to minimize the administrative and expense burdens just makes you look silly and uninformed. Putting the work "just" in front of a sentence doesn't make it any less burdensome.

I have said this in post after post after post; different people can come to different conclusions without operating in bad faith. And it is important to have discussions about pros and cons. But you necessarily make it easy to dismiss your opinion and feedback when you can't even acknowledge that none of this is easy and virtually every action has intended and unintended consequences that need to be carefully considered.

P.S. We are EOTP and our admin staff is WFH.

P.P.S. In-person is important. But much of the US doesn't even do PK3 or even PK4 and they manage to educate their kids (in many cases with more favorable outcomes than DC). So please stop acting like missing out on PK3 or PK4 is the end of the world for your poor snowflake.  [/quote]

My snowflakes are older.  We are well past ECE.

If you knew anything about education, you would know that studies and trials have shown the great impact that ECE can have, specifically for disadvantaged learners.  Wait until kindergarten and it’s too late to make up for missed opportunities in hearing broad vocabulary and other pre-reading and pre-math skills.

That’s why DC, and places all around the country like Tennessee and Arkansas, have added public ECE: to not have the dismal outcomes of the past.

I think you know as little about the field of operations as you do about education.  Or else you work for DCPS and excuse-making is in your bones.[/quote]
