[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]

If that’s the case (opening early) I’m fine with it. I can’t believe you’re getting four uninterrupted hours out of your school right now (some PP). My kids are younger so it’s all on me to implement lessons and so if they stop not much will change. They’re not doing much anyway and nothing that is occupying my kids for even an hour without my attention. Putting them on an app buys me a lot more time.[/quote]
