[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would argue that it’s a big failure right now with DCPS.

They have had months now and even closed schools early saying they needed time to come up with an effective distance learning curriculum.  Where is it?  What does it entail?

When you don’t know what is going on with a pandemic, the first step is to develop the distance learning curriculum.  Once you have that and if things get better, you can then start 2 day in school and just modify the DL.

It’s not rocket science really.  That’s how it should have been done.  Lastly, big failure from top down to think they can just tell teachers and the union this is what we are going to do without having them at the table and providing clear guidelines on safety in schools.

I as a parent have no ill will or resentment at the teachers for this mess.  Everyone’s anger should be directed at the Mayor and Freebee and central office.[/quote]

+1. Blame rests solely on the Mayor and the Chancellor. I’m glad DCPS teachers have a union willing to fight for them. Our EOTP school doesn’t have soap in the bathroom unless parents provide it. We don’t have a FT school nurse, and we have exactly one custodian who will allegedly be deep cleaning every Wednesday with no extra help, according to the press conference on Thursday. I’m glad that the parents in Ward 3 can fund these staff positions through PTA donations, but that is not a reality for most DCPS schools. I have zero faith that DCPS will be able to provide students and teachers with the equipment and materials to keep them safe. [/quote]
