[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still not clear on how offering 4-5 days in person per week to anyone who chooses to attend is racist.[/quote]

Nobody said that.

If you actually care about what is "racist" then sit TF down and listen. But I'm guessing you don't really care...

I'm listening. Explain why we can't offer more days/week for early elementary. The only reasons I've heard is that transportation says it's too hard and we don't feel like implementing 3 feet. [/quote]
APS has implemented 3 feet distancing, it's how they were able to move many kids off the waitlists. 
It's not racist to offer 4 days a week of school. It is racist to say "we need 4 days of school for the poor ELL kids" when you are a white family from Discovery who probably isn't on a speaking basis with any of them.[/quote]

Have they implemented 3 feet? The presentation has this steps on slide 15 that make it sound like they haven't done it yet. I agree with the second part. There's no need to say you are advocating for the poor ELL kids. Everyone is allowed to choose what is best for them.

In response to CDC's revised distancing guidelines
for classrooms, APS will:
• Perform field observations in schools based on
student stations, classroom layout, furniture
components, bathrooms, egress and ingress,
and circulation
• Determine a prescribed student square footage
based on 3' distancing guidelines
• Verify capacity numbers with schools
• Provide visuals to assist classroom setup
• Update online classroom capacity charts[/quote]
