[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for Ms. Neal. I hope she gets a break. So many crazy parents who seem untethered to reality. We are in a pandemic. Covid is going crazy. We don’t care if staff is sick or out. We want kids in school learning. And if kids are left unsupervised, we will go nuts. Parents are expecting the impossible of her. And I’m sure central office is also causing all sorts of issues for her. I hope she doesn’t quit. [/quote]

Another in agreement. I certainly wouldn’t blame her for quitting, though, and if she does I hope she blows the whistle loudly on the way out the door. I can say with 100% confidence, after five years at Deal, that there’s no way Ms. Neal would have made this call at 8 a.m. if she had any other choice. In fact, I think we have proof in our email inboxes; she sent this email at 2:50 p.m. yesterday:

[quote]Good afternoon,

We are currently experiencing an uptick in new positive cases. We are working extremely hard to contact families and provide close contacts with appropriate notification. If in the event the operating status of school changes, we will notify you immediately. 
 
Thank you for your patience and partnership.

Seems pretty clear she was working on/hoping for the ability to go virtual today and wasn’t allowed to make that call—and still for 7th grade only!—until 8 a.m. this morning when enough teachers had called in sick that they couldn’t staff the grade. Direct your fire at DCPS and Mayor Bowser.

This makes sense. She was probably waiting for an ok from the chancellor who is a total stooge. I’m sure he refused to make a decision until he got an ok from Bowser. The bigger question is why do we have a puppet for a chancellor? [/quote]
