[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait so the whole agreement just signed will amount to nothing more than these few high needs kids back? What about schools where most kids are high needs?[/quote]

In those schools, the highest of the high needs would be prioritized. Or do you think teachers from Janney should be taken to staff Title 1 schools? I’m guessing not. On a school-by-school basis, it looks like DCPS wants to prioritize the highest needs kids. And I fully expect the selfish parents of DCUM land to flip out over that. [/quote]

Prioritizing the highest needs is one thing; deciding that the system only needs to educate a fraction of its students is another.  People *should* flip out over that.[/quote]

no sympathy. if the union and their parent cronies had not tanked the earlier plan (including the original hybrid idea) we would be much closer to getting all kids back into the classroom. [/quote]

Nope.  We wouldn’t be closer.  Insisting that some kids get 4 or 5 days means there is no capacity for many other kids to get back at all.

That was a big flaw in the last plan and, from what people are saying here, in DCPS’s approach now.

Why do at-risk kids have to have 4 or 5 days rather than 2 or 3?  Wouldn’t 2 or 3 be a big improvement?!  I get the at-risk needs are severe, but there are other serious needs that need addressing to.[/quote]
