[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm disheartened by the PPs who don't think school will open, even for hybrid, in Fall 2021. I really hope that's not the case.

What a complete disaster and failure to prioritize kids and education.[/quote]

I think people are making that up trying to cause an uproar and are trolls.   No one I have talked to thinks school buildings will still be closed Fall 2021. [/quote]

That's what I thought too, and then a very good friend expressed real concern about it recently. I was shocked. They are among the parents looking to move outside DC.

I personally think it's really unlikely that DCPS won't reopen for Fall 2021. I also think based on recent noises from both the Mayor's office and rumblings I've heard from teacher friends, that we'll have hybrid or something for Term 3 or Term 4 (I also think it will be a total mess in execution based on a number of factors).

We aren't moving imminently -- we still have a kid entering PK and moving out of DC doesn't solve that problem because then we'll just be paying for PK anyway. But one of us already commutes to Maryland regularly for work and a move in that direction has always been on the table. We love DC and really don't want to leave, but this feels like a transformative year as far as our relationship to DCPS. I've always been a big booster but I find myself feeling so angry towards the whole system these days. Maybe it will dissipate when school reopens, but I feel abandoned as a family. We are not wealthy and really rely on public schools to make our lives work. There have always been problems but nothing like this. My commitment to staying for MS and HS is pretty much gone. We're going to go where our kids will be best served. The end.[/quote]
