Retroactive ire is not useful.

Of course it is. Getting kids back even for a week would be beneficial. You’ve thrown away the entire school year now and don’t care. Now the pressure needs stay on for a normal year in 2021-2022.

My dc showed a dramatic change for the better after 2 days in IPL. Even one month would be of enormous benefit to children who have been at home for over a year.

Hey, I don’t disagree. But it’s also not going to happen.

It's not going to happen because parents like you rolled over. Everyone should have fought like h*ll to go back in November.

No, in August. I couldn’t believe how complacent people were over the summer.

You are totally right, in retrospect. I feel like it didn't really register with me yet that other schools were totally open. Once it started to sink in that privates and parochials were opening, then I started to get concerned. I never would have anticipated in August that it was going to be ALL YEAR. I remember in July being ready for school to go back normally, maybe in hybrid.

What this incident has shown me is that in the world of public administration, you have to fight against any unwanted changes to the status quo, because a new baseline can be established very, very quickly.

I did worry back in August that this would be for the long run, possibly even all year, precisely because DL was already the status quo at at that point and not going back after the summer cemented that. That’s why I took the kids to my home country as soon as Bowser made the announcement, and I wasn’t surprised that we were still virtual when we got back in the middle of the year. Hopefully everyone recognizes by now what a disaster this school year has been, and school will be back to normal in the fall. And hopefully when the next pandemic hits, the schools will show more resilience and not put kids last again.

Wow!

Get current. It’s not anything but May now. And take a breath.

Kids could go back for a whole month, and then some could roll right into summer school. You obviously don’t gaf about education so maybe you should go elsewhere.

I do care. I hate this past year’s management. But I’d rather not drag my kid through another transition when we’re close to the finish line. You are holding a grudge at this point. It’s emotional. They aren’t going to be back this school year. You are harming yourself right now fighting that.

You may make your own choices. I'm telling you that my kid has benefited enormously from returning even in the first 2 weeks, so you can't just write off a whole month. It's not an emotional grudge - it's disgust and frustration at a system that literally gave up on kids. And it's also tremendously arrogant of you to assume that just because your kid is doing ok, other kids wouldn't benefit. And of course -- particularly with charters that have refused to open AT ALL, it's extremely naive to think that they are going to reopen normally in the fall without significant pressure.

You’re really worked up

Oh, so now it's uncool to want kids to be in school. Gotcha. Well, one more piece of evidence in favor of your keen interest in education.

No, you’re feeling in a lot of blanks. With great emotion. I guess it’s therapeutic?

I guess you're projecting -- you feel the need to suppress your own anger, so seeing other people express anger makes you uncomfortable.

No. Please stop making assumptions. It’s weird and misguided.

And my kid is absolutely not OK.
There’s not enough time for them to change everything for the last month of school. I understand your frustration but it really isn’t going to change anything. It’s not been rolling over it’s me excepting what is

If you're at a charter that's still mostly remote, I hope you're also prepared to accept a remote fall 2021, then.
