It's up to your school. I DO NOT delay the start time for my class, it makes no sense. So what? Some kids don't get small group that day and no morning meeting? Lol oh DCPS.

I might not be using the right term. There are kids in person and kids that the teacher is teaching to at home at the same time. Concurrent is maybe another term for it? I don’t even know any more except that it’s a hot mess.

Simulcasting is when the teacher is teaching kids that are in person and kids that are virtual at the same time.

I think the problem here is that they should have just repeated what they did today so that everyone gets a full day of school. Do away with this "two hour delay" policy when switching to remote is easy. What's the point of opening two hours late? Also there are some schools that are doing half-day inperson programs.


I hear you. I guess I just spend so much time being mad at DCPS these days that this barely scratches the surface. My kid is in a class that simulcasts, so it makes sense to me. It probably doesn’t make sense to 85% of the rest of y’all.

The start time for virtual students should not be delayed. This isn't equity.

So even less school for the virtual kids. This is ridiculous.

Just got the official text. Two hour delays make no sense. So EVERYONE loses two hours of instruction plus in-person teachers and students (and their families) have to deal with the added danger of commuting on icy streets. Really dumb.
