[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, this is a job for teachers. People act like teachers need to go the extra mile because of their precious students. But we really don’t pay teachers enough or respect them enough in the US for them to have to do so much more than regular office workers who are mostly working from home [/quote]

It’s interesting how nobody will answer the question of how long you will accept DL for. [/quote]

How long? I guess we'd have to ask COVID. You do know that there is a pandemic, right? If it is the entire school year, I am fine with that. If we get to fall 2021, ask me then. That is more than 9 months away. 9 months ago we were in February and we had no idea that 230,000 Americans were about to die. So chill. Take it day by day and week by week. [b]There's no rush.[/b][/quote]

For you.  My special needs kid is loosing ground on every measure.  There [b]is[/b] a rush for him to be back into school.  Socially and academically, he won't be AT ALL prepared for middle school next year.  His teachers could care less.

Kids are in school all over the country and the all over the world.  NYC with it's old buildings has kids in school. But somehow DC is different.[/quote]

Newsflash but even in school they aren't going to be prepared for middle school as the elementary curriculum is weak.  Academically you need to supplement and get supports in place.  NYC is not fully open and they've shut down again.  Its on you to care about your kid and support them.  How would you feel if your teacher caught covid?  They could be out for months?  Do you think it will be easy to get a sub?  Do you know what its like to have multiple subs in 5th?  We had that last year.  It was terrible to the point, COVID was a blessing to get out of a bad school situation.[/quote]

ooo i like the part of your argument where you suggest that because regular public school isn't entirely sufficient that we shouldn't bother with trying to improve the current situation[/quote]
