Homeschool.[/quote]

Do you realize that homeschool isn't an option for the majority of people in DC?  That's not a minor thing for cost or time commitment to do right.

I get the feeling you're either a set of paid talking points, willfully ignorant, or malicious.[/quote]

NP and there are plenty of virtual schools you can pay for.  I just googled and chose the first one I came across.  For ES the price for a full year was $7,400, but there were part time options and flexible options for less money.  You could also just pay for one semester and assume your child can reenroll in January at your IB school.  If you are really that worried please look into those options.[/quote]

Right, we can all just fine $1,000 per month in our budget per child.  You're not aware of how out of touch you are.[/quote]

I find it interesting that I am called out of touch for providing a solution and you are the one asking each DCPS school to create a virtual academy.  It seems like we are both really out of touch in this situation!  I know nothing of your individual finances (although you clearly didn’t look up any virtual schools because there is a part time option at the one I looked up for $625 a semester.  Just cut out your daily trip to Starbucks or a few take out meals a month) and you know nothing about how schools are run.  [/quote]

I know it's an anonymous board so there's no way for you to track this, but I'm interested in ways to centralize or cluster virtual options.

DCPS had all summer to figure that out and they didn't.  That's a leadership problem from the top.  Now teachers and students are going to pay for it.

You really need to learn more about DC if you think that your suggestions have any merit beyond your little bubble.  There is serious poverty in large parts of the city and you're suggestions are glibly blind to that.[/quote]
