[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A virtual option at every school (as has been repeatedly expressed throughout this thread) hurts the majority of children.  Resources are not infinite.

What Becky wants is to harm the majority of students.  That's really not ok.

If Becky truly wanted something that did not harm other children, she'd probably get more support.  As it is, people should vehemently oppose a virtual option at all schools.[/quote]

More resources could be poured into public education to allow a virtual option for all who want it, but doing it on a per school basis is too inefficient. [/quote]

But you know what would happen? The virtual option would be flooded with kids who live in W 7 and 8, the same ones whose parents refused to send them to even one day of in person school last year, and many of whom disappeared entirely throughout the school year. THAT is why Bowser doesn't want to do it. These kids are the ones who need in person school far more than any others. [/quote]

And that is why it’s icky for a ww who admittedly has means to keep her kids home shouldn’t be driving this train.[/quote]

And that is why you and I and everyone else needs to get off DCUM and let the powers that be know we support the school board’s position. Each LEA should determine if they want to do a virtual option. I support a virtual option for the LEA where my kids go to school. A centralized virtual option for all of DCPS, run by CO and not by individual schools (which are not LEAs) where the students in virtual school can return to the school in which they are enrolled either in January 2022 or August 2022. I do not think it is reasonable for individual schools in DCPS to run a virtual school for the small percentage of families that want it. And no hybrid.

I am off to write to the SBOE, the mayor, etc. [/quote]

This seems very reasonable, but logistically, how would the LEAs, including CO, get this up and running in time?[/quote]

Not my circus. OP can figure that out. [/quote]
