They will just take the additional money being allocated and keep their doors shuttered and be DL schools, under the guise that this is what is best for their communities. I am at one of these schools and we are disgusted and are fortunate enough to have options to leave. But some people are stuck and that is a terrible situation. There is no entity that can force the charters to do anything and they are now actually harming kids rather than helping them.

I would be very skeptical of any school that is not doesn't IPL for.quarter 4. So... Capital City, EL Haynes, Two Rivers, etc. I would not trust that they will be offering anything close to adequate in the Fall as compared to schools that are at least *trying* to serve their students this spring.

You can add Stones to this list. Only doing IPL for PK-K and won’t commit to full IPL in the fall. No leadership and a complete failure on the part of a school with a mission of equity and social justice. If only my lottery #was better we’d be gone already.

After DCPS forced things for term 3, with a slight majority wanting DL....

Our first grade teacher basically checked out. Completely disorganized. No engagement. Constant technical issues.

I used to think it was mostly parents that just wanted their kids out of the house, which I still think is part of it.

But man, having a crappy teacher stinks like rotten fish.

She probably just doesn’t want to deal with families on the daily. That’s the last in the top 5 reasons I went to IPL. Dealing with families everyday is too much.

Lol

My charter is better than DCPS because it doesn’t have to listen to DCPS. But when I have a problem w mg charter like unqualified teachers, rape of a child that was hidden or a pandemic not being part of the herd isn’t that great.

Huh?

As of April 5, Burbio says 64 percent of elementary school students nationwide are going to school five days a week. 50 percent of middle schools are back five days a week and 47 percent of high school students are back in the classroom full time.

You know 64% is a D right? It’s not even 90% meaning DC isn’t an anomaly.
You’ll get school in the Fall if you don’t have it now. Sorry.

Friend, your reasoning skills are not good. Basically the only kids are back to school full time are private school kids, so the share of children in DC at school five days per week is probably less than three percent.

This is exactly why I asked this question.

Sounds so far like a small percentage of schools and kids in them are 4-5 days per week, and only those in upper NW, the richest whitest schools that are the most similar to private schools.

To me this is a big failure of the city. Still hoping somehow to convince our hybrid school to go full time, they are refusing but have no reason.

An anon list mostly of rich white ward 3 moms (argue away but the owner said it’s true) is no picture of the city

My school is back and we aren’t listed here.

Uh ok PLEASE LIST YOUR SCHOOL. I’m starting to think this is one troll, who is lying, because why wouldn’t someone name their school and whether they’re open???

Yeah, the secrecy is bizarre. Is she worried Ward 3 moms are going to try to enroll their kids? Or other undesirable nice white parents?

Exactly. We don’t do well w nice white moms.

We have loads of white moms at our school btw - they are not nice. They do the work. They show respect. As do their husbands and sometimes grandparents.

Sure you do. Which school was that again? Unicorn ES?

I’m pretty sure I know this poster. Don’t tell them who we are. The high performing MS my kid is going to next year is also not listed. It’s one of many reasons we are happy w it.
And my friend who is posting. See you Saturday.

I’m not sure what you think you’re demonstrating? You come off as very cliquish and annoying. It’s a school, not a private club.
