[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found this email so annoying! I was honestly shocked. In my school it is such a small handful of kids going back while the rest of us lose teachers and face increased class sizes. I thought it was so weird to disparage distance learning and take a victory lap when most of us are still faced with no options.

I have been patient and support safe reopening but found the tone incredibly annoying. Yes schools are 'open' but most students are not able to attend in-person.  [/quote]

This! I was very confused because Deal has just a small group returning. He made it sound like all the kids were back for in-person learning. Extremely misleading![/quote]

Agreed. Please email the Chancellor and Mayor to request schools to fully reopen for all students. If we don't push for this now, it won't happen for the Fall. WTU doesn't want teachers to return to work at all and they're lobbying hard. We need to push from our end as parents.[/quote]

How do you suppose to make social distancing happen with 24+ students? Hospital, restaurants, grocery stores don't have the same 25+ people in a tiny crowded space for hours on end. Even countries that had way better government management then us have reduced class sizes.

No they haven’t. Seriously. We have this weird view of Europeans as perfect. Kids are full time in school just as they always were with masks not even required until 8-12 depending on the country. Some of these schools have been closed occasionally (or in the UK are closed now) for temporary spikes, but they’ve been open 90% of the time v 0 here. Also, it’s worth noting that “closed” in the UK means in person school for key workers’ kids. The number of kids going in person in the UK during the UK closure is comparable to the reopening numbers of DC schools.[/quote]
