[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As a teacher, I’m 100% confident that we will be in person. I just finished DCs leadership academy this week and they have every indication of business as usual 8/30
If I was a parent I’d be real worried that there are no quarantine policies for concurrent teaching. Last year it was easier when we had to shut down bc students were used to virtual learning, and a lot of teachers already had created in person lessons that could be accessible virtually. I’m not sure how that’s all going to work this year. When we ask Dcps we get nothing[/quote]

Great job, everyone. The political pressure you've applied have scared DCPS away from having any contingency plans. Because so many of you have screamed bloody murder that the schools better not be planning for anything less than 100% attendance, full day, 5 days a way -- no matter what the metrics may actually look during the school year.

More than 16,600 children had been hospitalized with the coronavirus thus far, and schools haven't started back up yet. Kids are on ventilators. For the idiots who think "Delta doesn't make kids more ill," it does make MORE kids ill, and so there will be a lot more kids who will be severely ill.

But your tantrums have resulted in there being no backup plan, so kids will be in school until Delta is already spreading like wildfire because there's nothing to fall back on.

Yes, I want kids to remain in school as long as possible. I have a kid who is high risk, and I haven't requested a virtual waiver because their ADHD makes it impossible for them to access virtual learning. I full expect that we will have to pull our kid our early because the pigheadedness that has resulted in no backup plan.

So thanks a lot for making it impossible for schools to take action before someone's kid -- maybe your own, maybe mine -- has to pay the price.[/quote]

And as of yesterday's news, apparently, not just more kids ill, but kids more ill, as they've now established that delta causes more severe illness. [/quote]
