[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked by snarky teachers who pretend this is anywhere near OK for young kids.  As we approach a year out of school it is not OK.  Accept that fact and then figure out how we will all compensate when schools do open. My child cries and asks when she can see teachers and friends again.  She has been too alone for too long and it is absolutely a mental health issue.  In addition to vast loss of learning.  If schools do not reopen in fall we will absolutely need to move.[/quote]

Teachers aren’t saying this is okay for students.  They are saying there is a pandemic so this is the best option for now.

Work could be done to improve DL, adjust hours for kids etc but DCPS wants to make ward 3 parents happen[/quote]

Why can't more work be done to phase out DL?  If DL is indeed the best option under the circumstances for all elementary school students, why are a small number of PreS3-5th grade DCPS and charter schools able to offer safe in-person learning taught by teachers in classrooms?  Why are so many well-educated parents in these school communities pleased with a phased return to in-person learning?  Because they're nuts?

Could it be that the other schools aren't trying anywhere near hard enough to offer in-person learning?  Could it be that school admins aren't getting enough support from above, or the WTU, to innovate to offer safe in-person learning to many more students?

Why should DC parents have to accept school system leaders throwing their hands in the air for our tax dollars when municipalities all around the country with lower Covid spread rates have elementary school kids back in school 2-5 days a week?
