[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am wondering what has been going on.  I’ve been getting a bunch of emails about Discipline Town Hall from my child’s school.  Maybe the adults are over stressed and need to chill.  Why aren’t schools using the Covid funds to hire more therapists and counselors?  I’m really worried about the mental health fallout when the kids reach college and young adulthood. I mean we are already seeing it with all the suicides happening on campuses that no one is really talking about.[/quote]

There are no Covid funds for extra staff, at least in DCPS. We were told to expect a contact tracer, a permanent sub. And extra mental health support. None have appeared. Instead we have “health techs” who check forms as students arrive and do testing once a week. But 90% of their day is spent looking at their phones.

At my school, students with BOTH a stable home life Nd a good teacher are back to normal. Those missing one or both are still struggling with behavior, attention, etc.[/quote]
