[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This wave will be over before school starts, folks. I’m not a COVID denier (I’ve never stopped masking indoors and we kept DS home all year last year) but I doubt there will be any political will to shut schools down like they did last year. Teachers, kids, parents, and the government all want them back. Barring a very serious/large outbreak in DC, I think they’ll remain open all year (potentially minus small, single-school shut downs).[/quote]

STICK THIS SENSE OF CALM DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS.[/quote]

Yes, let me get some of that too.

I felt so absolutely betrayed and shocked by decisions made out of nowhere last year, that I would put nothing past our DC government, school leadership, even other parents.

I don't know where the political will or any other will lies, to be honest. [/quote]

As a teacher, I’m 100% confident that we will be in person. I just finished DCs leadership academy this week and they have every indication of business as usual 8/30
If I was a parent I’d be real worried that there are no quarantine policies for concurrent teaching. Last year it was easier when we had to shut down bc students were used to virtual learning, and a lot of teachers already had created in person lessons that could be accessible virtually. I’m not sure how that’s all going to work this year. When we ask Dcps we get nothing[/quote]

This is a whole bucket of yikes. I’m so sick of DCPS’ incompetence. It puts so much stress on principals, teachers, and parents. And they learn nothing from past mistakes or planning failures. Nor are they ever held accountable. [/quote]

Sounds like they learned from last year’s failure that closing schools is not a good idea and DL doesn’t really work.[/quote]
I'm sure they, and teachers, learned from last year how to make it work better. 
They might not have a choice with respect to closing schools.[/quote]

Of course they have a choice. And the problems with virtual are intrinsic, so there is no “making it work better”. [/quote]
