[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew this was coming and I'm still SO ANGRY. The work from school and the connections to the other kids is what is keeping my kid in a routine and alleviating anxiety. This just leaves us all to fend for ourselves and is totally abandoning the kids. [/quote]

I am also all caps angry. I get we can't go back. Simply deciding, just because now it's not breaking the law, to fully shut down is infuriating. And with zero explanation to the public about why that choice was made.[/quote]

Same.  I don't understand why they made this choice and would appreciate an explanation.  If the idea is to start back sooner in the fall when it will hopefully be safer, say that.  If the idea is to teach teachers how to manage distance learning in the fall, say that.  I hate being in the dark and not knowing what's on the table.[/quote]

They did say that. Did you listen to the press conference? The Mayor said she was hoping we can start the school year 3 weeks earlier to compensate. Of course a lot will go into that like negotiating with the union, facilities, and of course monitoring the state of the pandemic.

I am not a Bowser fan but I’m perplexed by all the anger. This is a fast moving situation and I think DCPS has handled it better than many other school districts.[/quote]

Actually NO she didn't say they would be starting early. She said they were looking into different options about how to make up the lost learning, including maybe starting early.  That doesn't mean 3 weeks of full time school, they don't have to make up the days.

The Chancellor also said they would let everyone know as to which students might be eligible for whatever summer programs or other education progarms. They are not going to open this up to everyone IF they do it at all.

Y'all better be ready to start school in the fall.. at home or in a building or likely a repeat of both.[/quote]
