[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask how schools would have gathered input in 5 days? My school had the teachers make the schedule and it took a week, the district gave schools a week to turn in a plan...

Also how did you plan on getting all kids instruction done by 12? Some kids would always have to be later.

What I would have liked is if DCPS allowed each classroom to make their own schedule. But they needed a mass schedule so if a parent complains because the teacher tweaked the schedule to help them they will be at fault and not dcps. [/quote]

Where do you get 5 days?  Anyone who reads a newspaper knows that virtual instruction was coming - if not in Sept, then in winter months.  The schools literally had MONTHS to think this through. [/quote]

As someone involved in the scheduling for our school it’s true we had five days. We had to receive from the district all of the requirements and guidelines before we could proceed. Five days. And it was such a complicated puzzle we were lucky to get even one decent version![/quote]

So explain why the first 3 weeks aren't just two 1-hour chat SEL sessions and meaningful planning for actual learning? I understand it's ridiculous, but truly you all should have been planning since MARCH.[/quote]

Your reply was disrespectful. Many people spent countless hours sweating over what would be best for you, your child, and all parties. Those who did that planning were mandated to start as we meant to go on. So you are barking up the wrong tree. I’m sorry this situation has been so hard on families. Trust me that it’s been hard on teachers and administrators too. I promise you, though, that everyone had children’s best interest front and center in their approach to planning, even if it is less than perfect. Please ask yourself as you post in an anonymous forum whether your mother would be proud of your approach? I wish you and your family well.[/quote]
