[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know several families who already bailed for private schools (including a lot going to Catholic schools), temporarily or permanently moved to a part of the country with open schools, moved back to their home countries where school is open, and put their kids in pods. If it wasn't for pods, the exodus would be higher, but pods kids are still technically enrolled in their public school even though they outsourced the public school teacher's job.

We're starting to look into moving to a different part of the country that has schools open, and we'll make a final decision in May/June if DCPS hasn't committed 100% open for full-time school at that point. We're lucky enough to be able to move even without first securing jobs. Most people can't do that. For us, we just lost faith in WTU/teachers, administrators, corrupt WTU-endorsed politicians, and a weak mayor who's too afraid of WTU to reopen. We also see how our WOTP schools are part of a [b]very broken DCPS system that's tied to issues with voting habits of the very poor [/b]and corrupt politicians, resulting in a very dysfunctional and largely poorly performing school system.

You said the quiet part out loud!!! If only we could take American Back Again (to the good old days when only wealthy white men could vote). Good luck in your move. I am certain you will be able to find other areas that are more in line with your belief system that poor people's voices should be discounted (maybe by a ratio of, say, 3/5?).

Seriously. Wow.    [/quote]
