[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a weird question.

DC is an extreme, extreme outlier nationally in its slowness in getting kids back in the classroom. Maybe the only place in the U.S. that did worse than DC was San Francisco.

And we're asking who excelled? [/quote]

Daycares excelled. Private schools excelled. [b]*All* other schools in DC failed miserably.[/b] [/quote]

Perhaps, but whose whose fault was that?

Principals striving to reopen broadly and efficiently could only accomplish so much without strong support and clear directives from the top.  I'm under the impression that admins, teachers and families at a DCSP ES EotP did their utmost to get all the kids back as soon as possible. However, they were largely stymied by weak support from the Chancellor, the Mayor, the city council and the WTU to do any better.  They were also hamstrung by poor top-down plant/facilities management planning over the years. How many kids could our school's leaders bring back to a building that was at around 150% over capacity pre-pandemic per CDC guidelines re social distancing?

Pretty clearly, the school didn't fail us; the mismanaged system did in the usual toxic political environment.

Weird how schools in most of the rest of the country were able to open in August and stay open throughout most if not the entire pandemic. [/quote]
