[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her continued insistence on 3ft is worrying. Where does she think all the extra staff will come from to make smaller class sizes? Or the space, in a city? This just compounds the harms to the minority kids who are concentrated in districts still even listening to teachers unions. [/quote]

No. We are IPL with 3 feet distance. Our kinder rooms have 24 students.
The 3 feet does not matter. It just makes the classroom look like old school rows.

Classrooms can open at full capacity with 3 feet of distance. [/quote]

Actually, they cannot, particularly in crowded MS and HS in DC. My kids high school principal has already started saying if cohosting and 3 feet rules are still in place high schoolers (who haven't had a SINGLE DAY of in person learning this school year) won't be able to come back full time.

As for Weingarten: All that's changed is the framing, but read the details (3 feet spacing, new HVAC, hire new teachers for smaller class sizes, etc). She's still moving the goalposts and could care less about getting kids back in classrooms. She's lying. This is all PR. Because early polling for midterm elections is showing that school reopenings are a HUGE issue in many parts of the country where union pressure on inept officials (like Bowser) have kept schools closed.

I honestly think she doesn't care about kids. And neither do the top D politicians. Nobody really does.  And nobody cares about working women either.  They know that in cities like DC, SF, and NY, parents will never vote Republican, so they're free to pander to teacher's unions for the $$$ and field work. [/quote]
