For the most part, we've been very happy with how ACPS has been handling the openings and closures. Our kids also had a great experience with DL last year; their teachers were great and did a fabulous job under intense conditions.

Our family is ready. If school buildings are open, great. If school buildings are not open, no problem. We've got it handled either way.

Note to ACPS: if schools go to partial closing then our preference is that priority for learning in the school buildings be given to children of first responders like nurses, hospital employees, doctors, assisted living and elder care employees, teachers and school staff, police, and fire fighters. We need to support the people on the front lines and who are doing the most valued work.

Congrats on your forethinking and immense resources. You had a "fabulous" experience with DL? Let me see if I can ID your school. From your happy homemaker tone, I'm guessing Beverly Hills/Charles Barrett.

You're projecting.

You are a vile pig. I pray your kids don't grow up like you.

I’m a different poster and one who hopes schools do not close. However, you are exactly what is wrong with our country. To call someone such an awful, nasty name. To fat shame. To lash out in rage over a strangers post. What are YOUR kids learning?

Here’s an idea - Calm the fuk down. You’re not helping by adding to the collective nastiness. Understand that people can hold different opinions. It really is ok.

All the other school districts sent a similar letter at a similar time. Most school districts are between a rock and a hard place and don't not know how to respond, since parental pressure to keep schools open has been so high, and no one took time to develop a real pivot to virtual.

Only DCPS is ahead of the curve and is doing rapid testing of all its students on Jan 3 and 4 for test to stay. Probably because DCPS is a smaller system than other larger ones in the area...

Prepare for a rocky January.

Yes, because a public school system was just sitting on edge waiting to see what the preference of some poster on DCUM was so that it could adjust its plans accordingly. Thanks.

They must have gotten bored with FB and ND. We're another family also are ready for short-term closures. We aren't like Henry Ford and most of the other posters here so we don't believe that history is bunk and we learned from our expierience last year. It won't be easy but if "ACPS pivots" then we can pivot too. Community safety is more important to us than a few days of school. These other people must be the people having their parties, filling the restaurants and all-around jeopardizing the rest of us. Jerks.

Lol at this whole ridiculous post. Remember that one time when a few days of school in March of 2020 turned into a full year?
