[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh hell no. My kids are going to school in person full time (they will wear masks if necessary). Even if we have to go stay with grandparents in another state, I absolutely refuse to do distance learning beyond the end of this year. [/quote]

Same. DCs tax base will take a beating. There will be teacher layoffs. No one is sticking around for fall hybrid. [/quote]

Us, too. One of us will go stay with grandparents in the fall if we don't have access to full-time school we can afford in the DC Metro area.  My 8-year-old just isn't learning enough, and isn't happy enough with hybrid.  I've have more than enough of the stress the dearth of in-person learning is placing on our whole family.  We won't put up with another season of this travesty.[/quote]

Same. My real question is: does anyone care? Isn't city and school leadership, and most teachers and the WTU, sending a strong message - don't let the door hit you on the way out? We don't want you white people in our school district messing up things anyhow? The upper NW schools are overcrowded and make the city look bad because of how they provide a better education for the white people, and the gentrifying schools are in even worse shape, with annoying white parents trying to open them and hoard education and stuff.

I am seriously getting that strong hint, and considering where to move or which private schools to try for. Don't really like going where I'm not wanted. [/quote]

My favorite meeting this year:
Dad demanded a meeting with teachers, school admin and a central office rep. Brought articles on schools opening in Europe and wonder why...WHY our school can't open. Yelling, moaning. Finally, threatens to buy a 2nd home so his children can go to a school in Vermont. 
Without blinking an eye, the central office representative provided steps to unenroll and to make sure to do so immediately. Our schools waitlist is ridiculous. His child's spot was filled the day after the father submitted the forms.

All of the parents who LOVE urban education, ADORE raising a city kid, CLAIM diversity is SOOOO important: The world will continue to spin without you. This is a rough year but DCPS and other urban school districts will prevail- with or without you.

So go. Go back to Ohio or Indiana or wherever you are originally from. Go back to your hometowns. Do whats best for you and your child but you can leave with some grace. [/quote]

Here's another idea: Teachers actually do their jobs. Stop treating the pandemic like it's some never-ending paid vacation and just go to work. [/quote]
