[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC schools serve a more economically disadvantaged population that will need more supports for distance learning than the surrounding districts. I suspect they are thinking about that.[/quote]

More than PG County? Nope. PGCPS is bigger than DCPS with similar numbers of Title 1 schools.

Also - DCPS must realize how many of their teachers live in Maryland, and have kids in MD schools. [/quote][/b]

This. Hybrid means that a ton of teachers would have to take leave to care for their own kids. This would be a logistical nightmare. [/quote]

But if they are teaching from home won't they have to anyway. Or are they going to teach from home WHILE providing full-time childcare. [/quote]

Yup they sure are, just like they did in Spring, just like we all are...[/quote]

There are lots of people right now working from home while also caring for their own children. Teachers are no different in that regard when they are doing distance learning. [/quote]

Totally agree. I hate that teachers and others are using this as an excuse. A good chunk of the US workforce is doing their job virtually with their kids at home. Why can't teachers do this too? No one is going to be bothered if your kid is screaming in the background while you are teaching a class. Kids crying, interrupting, etc. is totally normal now. Well, maybe it actually might be some good karma for the kids interrupting work calls.[/quote]

Who is saying that?  I’m a teacher and I had my kids interrupt me/cry all the time.  You know what?  It happens.  No kids cared (in fact they thought it was funny) and the parents understood because it was happening to them. [/quote]
