[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Well at this point it is all rumors. But what’s absolutely clear is that the hysterical and selfish reaction of the WTU and parent supporters set us back by months. But I’m sure you’ll blame everything on special needs kids - nothing we haven’t heard before![/quote]

You can believe its smoke and mirrors and rumors all you want. It’s true. And you can blame the union all you want. Dcps f’ed this up from the get go. I have kid with special needs, I get it. But let’s not act like DCPS has ever really cared about kids with ieps....they haven’t. [/quote]
