While chalkbeat is a useless, one-sided, poorly-written union blog, I’m not sure what you’re saying about USC. But anyway, chalkbeat is so transparent here. “A plurality want all DL! This is evidence that we should continue in DL! Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the majority would like some in-person?[/quote]

How do you know the majority want in person?  Based on DCUM?  Yeah, that isn’t a good way to assess a majority.[/quote]

No, that's exactly what a plurality means. The REST of everyone else represents the majority. Plurality isn't that hard people. Here's an example:

Imagine 35% of parents want distance learning only, 31% want hybrid, and 32% want full in-person. You can frame it as "the option which got the most votes, distance learning" wins--this is the plurality. But if you look at it another way, 63%, or a majority, of parents in this example wanted something else--in this case at least some portion of in-person. [/quote]
