[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our charter showed the entire community the results of their survey. The majority of families do not want to go back to in-person. I make this point because based on the feedback loop on DCUM one might think the majority of families are in favor of going back. At least at our charter that is not the case. Those numbers skew even more in favor of continuing DL when you exclude PK3-K.

Parents of 3-5 year-olds think the world revolves around them and their snowflakes. That was true before COVID and will be true long after. But you don't make public policy decisions based on the loudest voices representing a tiny fraction of the impacted population. None of this is to say that parents of 4 year-olds shouldn't advocate for their kids or want what they want. But this mentality that somehow schools that don't bend to their whim are negligent or behaving in defiance of logic is just crazy talk[/b]. [/quote]

I think the issue here is that childcare for this age group is a massive challenge. You cannot work with a 3 year old at your heels all day, and the costs of childcare has soared. This is a significant issue that impacts whole families.

To that end I wish the city would be more strategic and open schools for PK-2 and leave 3-5 to DL. [/quote]
