[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ITS announced today that they will not be bringing anyone back in November, which they had previously said was the plan.  Except maaaaybe some with special needs.  No new date.[/quote]

I’m disappointed about this but need to point out they always said they’d be reevaluating the November decision so it was never to be considered a firm plan. But I was really really hoping for it. [/quote]

I was hoping for at least a bit of preschool, and would happily sacrifice two days of the DL preschool to have two days in person.  But it was clear that the teachers had not been told anything and there was never really much of a plan.  Meh.

I am disappointed that charters in general are not offering more.  What happened to their flexibility and freedom from the scary, scary teachers union?  DCPS is at least attempting to go forward with serving high needs kids and providing childcare that some families will probably really appreciate.  [/quote]

Are you so blind with "Charter Rage" and "WTU Rage" that you can't see the internal inconsistency and stupidity of your argument? Your argument appears to be that the WTU is controlling DCPS and are to blame for not going back in full. Charters are making a similar or more restrictive decision and instead of seeing that as evidence that DCPS's decision might not be the WTU's fault, you somehow conclude that this is evidence of charters making a poor decision. Do you see how your conclusion is your argument? You remind me of conservative commentators who complain about the "liberal NYT" and dismiss everything they don't like but occasionally likes something and cites it with glee saying "even the liberal NYT".

It would seem to be you who is enraged.  I am arguing that *if* the WTU is stopping DCPS from going back to any in-person instruction, then one might expect charter schools to be offering more.  Which they aren't.  DCPS is offering at least something in person for some kids, and many charters are offering no in-person for anyone at all.  [/quote]
