[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1000.  The WTU has its own agenda, weaponizing Covid fear-mongering to hem, haw and drag feet.

The WTU could just as easily have supported innovating to reopen elementary schools as safely as possible.  That's being done all around the country and the world.

I don’t agree. I think DCPS teachers are very high risk for getting very sick. With that said, I think kids will be back in school in the Fall.[/quote]

Why do you think this? The data show teachers who teach in person are at no higher risk of infection than the general population.[/quote]

Teachers are largely minorities and something like 80% have pre-existing conditions. I’m ok with waiting until Fall of 2021. They should bring back ES and kids with IEPs this Spring if possible. I’m pretty shocked at how inflexible so many parents are during a pandemic. The amount of whining over schools when the Trump administration completely f**ked up a response to this crisis. We got what the people voted for... Perhaps Biden will get this sh*t together.[/quote]

So you agree ES should open before the fall... I would think that most of the parents "whining" that schools should open (something that other countries understand is a legitimate need) are parents of young kids, for whom DL is entirely inadequate. And I believe that those parents have already shown plenty of flexibility over the last 9 months. I'm pretty shocked Americans think it's ok to keep schools closed for over a year.[/quote]
