[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When are we going to get over the whole "schools were closed for too long!" thing?   We're on the tail end of a once in a century pandemic, and yes mistake were made -- but JFC are we going to harp on those mistakes until the end of time?

I will stop being mad about it when 
1) there are no longer repercussions from it, for my family personally.  There still are.  Still paying for that tutoring to catch kids up from what they didn't get last year.  Still dealing with some mental health challenges.
2) someone publicly OWNS the mistakes and says "we should not have done this, this was bad, we should never do it again."
3)  we've gone a year without a proposal from a council member and/or portion of the teachers union to go back to virtual.
4)  we do evaluations of the interventions that we CONTINUE TO DO to weigh their benefits and harms, and don't sweep things under the rug.  That would go a long way for me in helping me believe that we don't stupid harmful stuff in the future, for some other thing that happens.

And yet I’m sure you voted for Bowser, who closed the schools to try to score political points and then opened the schools later than almost every other jurisdiction and ran on what a great job she did opening the schools, while demonizing teachers, which you clearly fell for hook, line and sinker. [/quote]

Yea, this is absolutely true.  I'm agnostic on the whole school thing, but where did we get the idea that Bowser was all about opening them?  She only staked out that position when it became clear that that's where the political winds were blowing.  I don't get it.

But, again -- can we just move the hell on.  Please?  It's getting ridiculous.[/quote]

You don't have kids in DCPS, do you?

Seriously, it sounds like you weren't involved at all in any of the 1,000 convos about school reopening.  Maybe go read up through one of the thousands of threads on DCUM, to understand the school reopening issues.

Then, stop asking people to ignore issues related to CHILDREN and SCHOOLS.

Calm down. Nobody is closing school again but you are out of control[/quote]

Well not now. Bowser won and she is not stupid enough to close schools again. She's a deeply flawed political, but not a total freaking moron, thankfully.

But had White won I would have zero confidence that schools would stay open.[/quote]

Thus confirming your complete lapse from reality[/quote]

He literally argued against opening schools for the 2021/2022 school year.[/quote]
