[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS does not provide school busses. They don't run the Deal "bus"; it is a city bus that WMATA designates for Deal because no adult wants to commute on a bus jam packed with 11-14 year olds fresh off the end of a school day. I think some PP's saying its no problem to put your kids on the bus are picturing a nice orderly school bus in the suburbs - this is a jam packed, standing room only, public city bus full of kids.

Which is why so many more parents are driving this year.[/quote]

My kid takes a Deal bus. He is vaccinated and keeps his KN95 mask on during the ride. I feel safe with that. If I were to pick him up, I wouldn’t be an a%% and insist on giving him front door service. He can happily walk 2-3 blocks to save the drama and reduce dangerous conditions for the kid’s that do walk and teachers that need to depart. [/quote]

Masks for kids are pretty much useless by 3:30pm as they have been removed multiple times throughout the day for lunch, water, etc. and no longer fit properly.  And KN95 masks are generally a waste unless the user has received proper fit training and testing.  So, yeah, a bus packed to the gills with tired and loud kids is a problem for those kids and the school overall.  It’s like watching a medical journal article being written in real time but everyone is afraid to say something because of equity concerns.  [/quote]

why not more buses?[/quote]
