[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, DC public school parents, why are you even on this thread?

Yes, Bowser said she hoped privates would follow her decision.  If you listened to her, mich of the decision was based on the teachers union not wanting to go back and she blamed it mostly on “staffing”.  So basically she could not convince the teachers to go in.

Why she mentioned the privates? Simple. It makes her and the DCPS look bad if they can’t get their kids and especially their teachers don’t want to go in, but DC privates can. Makes DCPS look stupid. If privates close, DC parents can’t complain.  [/quote]

Yup. This is not the moment for “elitist” schools to open when publics do not and Mayor says not to either.[/quote]

Nah, you miss the point.  I want the private schools to be open and the public schools should have found a way to be open at least 2 days a week... Shame on them for not finding a way to offer it..[/quote]

I agree with you. But this moment in time for privates is not helped by the current feelings about elite anything.[/quote]
The point is not others feelings but my child’s education. That’s why I sacrifice to pay 80k a year. We are in it for the long haul and the DL was well done in our case so I’m disappointed but not dissatisfied with DL in the Fall, however some private schools have far more space, faculty and much smaller student bodies than any public in the area. They should not all be clumped together. Not because of being elite institutions, whatever that means, but because of factual info of how this virus can avoid being spread. If our smaller k-8 has hybrid my kids will be there. And if someone feels bad about that then they should stop socializing and do everything in their power to stop the spread. I have stayed home for months, ordered groceries, no friends in person, etc. the resources of the world are not spread equally. We are not a communist country. I think the public schools should figure out a way for kids to be campus at least once a week, but that isn’t the fault of private schools who have the sos d and small numbers to do so.[/quote]
