DCPS has washed their hands of this.  Their work is done and self congrats have gone out.  The students are back.  Haven't you heard?[/quote]

This. I am not hopeful. They have delegated the matter to the principals who do as they see fit. Everybody can now say schools are open, [b]never mind that the demand was not met[/b]. The pressure is off. It's disgraceful.[/quote]

is that true? I have no general data only anecdotal evidence, but in our case my HS kid and a group of peer in her scout group were offered a spot in school and all turned it down. when we turned it down (at Wilson) the teacher mentioned that apparently the school was not getting a lot of positive responses (I was also surprised because none of the kids is at risk and at least two of them are excellent students). so got the impression that there was not really a stampede to go back to class, at least in HS (friends with early ES kids all happily accepted the spots offered in my experience)[/quote]

Demand was not met for many early grades at my kids’ Title I elementary, but a number of families with resources that were left out have now bailed for—or are looking to—bail for private b/c it’s just so untenable. I can’t believe it, I’m in PTO and LSAT and a big booster for my school—but if full time school proves to be off the table next year, our family may bail, too. Maybe temporarily relocate somewhere with full-time schooling. [/quote]
