[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people elsewhere in the country whose kids have never missed a day of school because of coronavirus. Those kids' schools excelled. Our kids' schools, here in D.C., used the pandemic as an excuse to go on an extended vacation. [/quote]

Nonsense. Our teachers worked tirelessly, with parents hovering in on every class just off-camera (I know I was, often), or with parents conducting important business on the phone while pacing in the background of their child's camera, causing huge distractions when their child unmuted. They showed patience, empathy, flexibility for every child and every parent like they never knew they could, because they knew this year they needed to.
Parents, too, did everything they could for their children and family to thrive. It just so happened that some of them believed their responsibility toward their kids was to try and obtain by force what wasn't possible. We couldn't pretend covid didn't exist and no angry demands and accusations to the schools could make the real constraints and unknowns of the pandemic go away.[/quote]

this is ... an interesting rewriting of history.

do you think we somehow couldn't perceive that schools everywhere in the country, world, and even here in DC stayed open?  [/quote]
