[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC also had the longest school closures in the country. People left so their kids could get an education. [/quote] Typical DCUM responder who thinks the whole universe revolves around their kids. The overwhelming majority of DC residents don’t have kids in the public schools, and there’s no evidence that the majority of the 20,000 residents who left had kids in the school system. [/quote] Seems like a silly argument but I just want to point out that the couple featured in this article didn’t have kids in DCPS yet. Even if they planned to move out before the kids started school if they ever had a doubt about whether to stay and raise their kids in DC the situation with schools the last couple years probably sealed it. It reads to me that closure of pre-K accelerated their decision making. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/12/24/dc-population-drop-covid/[/quote]
