[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like the WTU is holding a rally at Ft Reno this Saturday at 11 am.

I'll try to post the flyers.

Spread the word if you are interested in stopping this plan. [/quote]

[b]Is WTU proposing a different plan? I am open to alternative plans but extremely frustrated by the treading water that has been occurring.[/b][/quote]

This. The WTU's positions so far have been ridiculous. If they were to propose something reasonable (N95 masks, really?) I would be happy to support them. But they pretty much just have a head shaking response to everything.[/quote]

Here’s what WTU wants. What’s unreasonable about wanting N95s??? DCPS won’t even provide masks for students!

Is that an accurate statement? My DCPS school said they would provide children with masks. [/quote]

Schools will provide paper masks not N95s.

What is the plan for children that are unable to wear masks? [/quote]

Of course the school isn’t providing every single student with a new n95 mask each day (which is what you would need for it to be meaningful). That would be a horrendous waste of resources and totally unnecessary.[/quote]

To put this ask in perspective, ER docs don’t get n95s except when dealing with confirmed COVID positive patients for a non-incidental period of time or when doing certain procedures on patients (intimating and other high risk of aerosolization procedures) on patients for whom tests haven’t come back. They literally don’t get n95s when examining sick patients with COVID symptoms pre-diagnosis. That’s how scarce those resources are at the moment. But sure, yeah, reasonable ask WTU.[/quote]

OK, that's fine.  If you aren't willing to provide the necessary supplies to have daily prolonged indoor contact for multiple hours, then you can continue learning at home.  There's your "reasonable ask."[/quote]
