Key Findings

The nationwide effort to give students the option for in-person learning continues: As of March 22, just 7 percent of districts are fully remote and 41 percent are fully in person, leaving 52 percent of districts offering hybrid instruction.

Just 3 percent of districts that are majority white have no option for in-person instruction. This rate is six times higher in majority-black districts and eight times higher in majority-Hispanic districts at 18 percent and 24 percent, respectively.

Several community characteristics affect what type of instruction students are receiving. Remote learning is more prevalent in counties with high proportions of single mothers and high percentages of children in poverty.

There are also wide differences by district characteristics. Remote learning is more than twice as prevalent in low-achieving districts.

No one ever wonders if this is because people don't give a sh*t about Black and brown kids? Like maybe it's not just "Black and brown parents don't WANT to send their kids to school"? It seems sort of f*cked if the narrative wasn't, "Well Black and brown people WANT that."

Um, I though Black and brown people *did* want remote learning in higher percentages?

Yeah. Because the teachers’ unions have been screaming at them all year that their kids will die if they go back to school. Here’s a study about it: https://twitter.com/vkoganpolisci/status/1371808663007035392?s=21

I don’t want to have to see another healthcare worker quarantine themselves to avoid not coming home infecting their families staying away for 2 weeks or seeing coworkers who have passed away from this disease working with COVID patients. I want my son to to attend school again and he definitely does also because he feels he can learn more but not at the risk of killing his dad because of his underlying health conditions. It’s just not safe, furthermore I see children not wearing masks along with their parents!!
Last thing don’t blame the mayor she is taking precautions as she should. If you want to blame someone. I’ll leave politics out of this. She is not to blame she is doing what a parent and mayor should do for her community so if you guys want to leave DCPS good!!!

I am a healthcare worker and know a ton of other healthcare workers involved in all aspects of medicine and Covid patient care. Not one of use remotely agrees with you. You are entitled to your opinion, but trying to lay guilt on parents who want their children to be in school is not cool.

Agree ! Just 134 out of 60.8 MILLION young kids died from
COVID! This “HcW” must not have read the statement from AAP or talked to
Any Hcws in peds!

If I remember correctly, Mayor Bowser was ready to open schools in August but, as she said publicly, teachers were refusing to show up. If you want to blame someone, blame WTU.

+1. Enough with the WTU trolls looking to rewrite history.

Bowser said it in a July press conference. You can go look it up. You can also go look up what the coronavirus rates were in DC in August. They were *almost* zero.

WTU is the ones rewriting history because they know they are now less popular in DC than the Proud Boys.

The last laugh will be on teachers though because parents are abandoning DCPS because they are sick of WTU's antics and that means layoffs are coming for lots of DCPS teachers.
