Here's a better idea: Open schools to young children. Distance learning doesn't work for them and -- here's the important part -- they rarely get coronavirus and they don't spread coronavirus.

No one needs to curate remote content for 3-4 year olds. Parents can find their own youtube channel and redeploy these resources. That seems very logical.

No virtual learning will do this? No, because the parents would need to be home or be paying someone to be home with the kid anyway. Not having in person could certainly affect the job situation, but not having virtual learning doesn’t impact jobs. There’s really not much of value you can do virtually with a 3 year old and it has to be fully supervised by an adult at home.

Speak for yourself. My 3-year-old got a lot out of the virtual learning her private preschool offered when the pandemic first hit. Give us the options, you choose what works for your family.

DCPS hasn't finalized this, and the chancellor made clear that it wasn't certain yet in the press conference. I really hope they at least offer a virtual option for those who want it.

I thought they were still compiling work for the kids- like packets and projects to do at home. There would just be no virtual meetings.

Am I understanding it right? If schools are closed, there will be no PK3 or PK4?
