[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m probably from the same school as the above posters (whose Principal said there’d be no Pk4).

In the same email he said parents would have two days to accept or decline their spot.  (Unsure if those are two working days.)

[b]He also stressed that we would not learn about teacher placements (and that we should not ask).[/b]

Sorry, but that's ridiculous. Parents are having to make really important decisions and one enormous factor about whether or not a family will take an in-person spot is who that teacher will be! Sorry, but there are great teachers, good teachers and lousy teachers. We all know that. I would happily follow our amazing DL teacher into the classroom if that is where she is going to be. If she's going to remain as a DL teacher (because she has proven she rocks at it) then we will stay put. To act like who the teacher is shouldn't influence our decision making is just wrong. Your principal is a coward.[/quote]

He CAN'T tell you. DCPS won't release which teacher is doing DL vs. in person! Thus they can't tell families either.[/quote]

That tells me that by withholding this information, DCPS is betting on lots of people NOT taking in-person spots because the unknown about the teacher will be enough for some families to stay put in DL. This rollout is the worst. [/quote]

:roll: people sure do like moving goalposts. you don’t know your child’s teacher under normal circumstances in advance, so this isn’t some kind of conspiracy. and the kids offered spots are the ones most likely not coping with DL - so their parents are going to take the spot. You need to see this from a different pespective. [/quote]
