[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I question OP's motivation in posting here, I completely agree with the sentiment.  Not sure who at the CDC came up with the 10 person limit per classroom that is now spreading through school districts throughout the nation as some magic threshold, that person has no understanding of most public schools, which typically have a classroom target size of 25 students plus a teacher.  It's a pretty random number that is completely unrelated to the foot print of the classroom or the size of the class.

And, it is completely hypocritical if classrooms are kept at this low size of 9 students in Phase 3 but other "gatherings" of up to 250 are allowed.  I can only hope that the Mayor uses her discretion to decide to put students first and resume in person instruction in the Fall.  As she has noted a couple of times, she is not bound to follow the ReOpen DC committee recommendations.[/quote]

My school has over 500 kids.  If groups up to 250 are allowed that’s about half the school. Which translates to A/B schedule.  Why is that so hard to understand [/quote]

Huh? They don't ALL have to be in the same space at the same time. [/quote]

I was pointing out how an A/B schedule actually lines up with reopen dc. Schools in Upper nw all have over 500 kids. And another 50-100 adults.  It’s not as simple as put kids first and open schools.    The hybrid Dcps actually is taking about will be a vast improvement upon what was put out this spring [/quote]
