[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had less than 50% of students yesterday. Today, who knows what we would have had. Many districts made a pivot to virtual for this week so that students wouldn’t lose a week of learning. The DMV area parents have dug their heels in and made virtual a non starter, and in doing so, you got one day of “school” which was essentially a play date for your kids bc no teaching was going on yesterday.

Now, the rapids they took last week are USELESS in terms of data. You know DCPS isn’t going to re test on Sunday and require negatives for Monday. All theatre [/quote]

I had 87% of kids yesterday and taught. [/quote]

That’s great! I can promise your situation is not the norm, and if you look at submission data district wide, the wealthier wards got significantly higher attendance yesterday.

All this blustering from DCUM over lower income families doesn’t seem to realize how each of the decisions they support in DCPS is causing more inequity and less education for our students furthest from opportunity [/quote]

Why can’t you teach the 50% of the students that showed up. They have been out of school for 2 weeks and certainly could use a review of what was taught the week before break. Couldn’t you have some small group instruction, or one on one help in areas they need it. 
If you gave your students a playdate, that’s on you, not the parents that sent their kids to school on a school day.

Agree.  I don't understand why we need to follow the lead of parents least committed to education, by having teachers only teach when the rarely-in-school kids show up.[/quote]

I don’t know what you mean by rarely in school kids. Typically I have a class of about 25, who almost all show up. This is entirely due to the uncertainty around omicron and positive tests.

Whateve, DCUM has all the answers I’m going to go enjoy my snow day and leave this toxic wasteland [/quote]
