[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not buying it. Not convinced that social distancing will be much different in private and the better public schools.

Some of the private schools in the City, particularly parochial schools, operate in cramped buildings.

You can't just switch from public to private by snapping your fingers - applications for decent privates tend to be due 8 or 9 months before kids arrive in the fall.

The great majority of high SES families in DC public schools won't leave DC for suburban schools over a bit of chaos, or shift attendance, at trusted neighborhood or charter programs due to covid19 disruptions.

The burbs may be no better.  Fairfax has only provided distance instruction for the past week!!  MoCo for two weeks!!

You don’t think fewer better trained rich kids with more accountable (not hired for life) teachers won’t make a difference. You don’t think the greater resources at Sidwell will enable them to protect their institution better than the vast majority of DC public schools? You’re crazy. Just looking at which groups can stay home when they get sick and who has access to elite medical. It is like you don’t know how this works

Maybe the burbs will be as bad as the urban centers but that isn’t how this has be playing out globally for the most part. They say the virus doesn’t discriminate but I see a disproportionate effect on poor black and Hispanics, especially older AA. What do I see a lot of when I look at DCPS hummmm. What do I see less of in every other school district outside of PG.
