[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of variabilities across even the WOTP DCPS schools - having relatives at a couple, so we have some sense of comparison. Our school has (unfortunately) left it up to the different grades & teachers to determine what they are doing - so some teachers and grades are having much stronger experiences than others. Some of the teachers have done fun, engaging wrap around projects and things that have engaged kids. One of the teachers for one of my kids has essentially checked out completely. A school where cousins go have multiple Zooms (yes fully ok'ed for teachers & schools to use with password etc protections) a day, and the teachers have mostly figured out how to keep it as engaging as possible - and the principal took it upon themselves to figure out how to get every single kid a computer and internet access as needed.
The kids we know at big 3 type privates are getting a lot more intense experiences - a lot more scheduled classes and engagement and individual attention (and they are paying $40K plus a year).
And like the WaPo story earlier this week detailed, there are lots of schools around the city where there are a lot different and bigger problems. And the overall DCPS system is trying to deal with the hardest problems the most - and so they haven't been as concerned about the #Ward3 problems to the same degree, setting some standards & then more hands off.
But do know there is variability and some of the DCPS schools are doing much better than others - which gives standards and ideas to push for within your own school for when fall rolls around...[/quote]
