The schools are supposed to send an email out today. DCPS policy though seems to be no tech which is unfortunate for the kids. And an anomaly compared with other school districts.


It’s no tech because of equity considerations. Such backward thinking, but par for the course.


This type of thinking and embracement of equity at all cost is why DCPS will never succeed to attract higher performing students and they leave for charters, burbs, or privates.


This unveiled threat by middle class whites to leave DC is getting trite. Bye already?


Hate to burst your bubble but many are not leaving DC. They are going charter which BTW ours has already lesson plans set up, virtual meetings with teachers, etc..


Also it’s not middle class whites and not about racism. So stop playing that card. It’s just getting old.

How are they recording? What platform are they using?

Actually, isn't it "equity at no cost." Rather than providing devices or whatever because of the cost, they are providing none... for equity considerations.

There are dozens of websites and free learning programs you can use to help your students. Heck, if you are inbound you could just withdraw and start a real home school program.
Dcps should be offering both paper and tech.
