[b]And why a whole thread on PK[/b]?? All kids should have school in person.

[/quote]

Because when PK parents post in more general threads, people yell at us “[b]Pk isn’t mandatory! Who cares? Let’s talk about the grades that actually matter![/b]”

Of course all kids deserve to be in school, but it’s ok for PK parents to have a thread discussing concerns unique to them.[/quote]

This x1000.  Pay for daycare for another year.  [/quote]

What about my self contained pre-k child? I’ve seen more results with online school than his toddler day care! So FU. Pre-K deserves to be in person too![/quote]

Every child deserves to be in school in person, to be clear.  But PK is a privilege, it's not a right.  This is true even in non-pandemic years.  No one is guaranteed a Pk spot.  We are lucky to have PK spots available in this city, but they are not guaranteed.   I can't speak for self-contained PK, I have no idea what the rights are for that.

What I'm tired of is PK parents taking up time and resources at my kids' school when they should be focusing those resources on getting K-5 back in person.

(Also, try to be a bigger person and don't curse out opinions you don't agree with.)[/quote]

The fact that PK is not a required grade does not mean it isn't a grade that is supported by DC.  We all pay taxes in DC, presumably you got free PK for your kids while they were younger.  No one is stealing resources and PK parents are absolutely in their rights to want their kids to go back as well.  [/quote]

Disagree. If 3-6’ distancing requirements mean additional classrooms are needed to accommodate students K and older, then we need to use the PK3 and PK4 classrooms to accommodate the maximum IPL number of K and older students. Period. K and up is compulsory, younger is not. Frankly I can’t believe that the littlest ones are back at school first. It’s completely backwards.[/quote]
