It's bizarre and wrong that teachers can cut to the front of the line for vaccinations, before lots of people with more pressing need, and still keep schools closed.

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.

as well as the research showing that covid has not spread in schools.

that is educational malpractice. if a vaccinated K teacher cares so little about education that they won’t return, they are not cut out for the profession

+1000. It’s really bizarre in frequency.

Wanting all children in school full time is not racist and absurd. It is what must happen. There should be no real debate. The young children who are still home and cannot afford supplemental learning will certainly fall being when compared to those in schools across the country and here in our city, notable the private school kids here who already have more privileges. The gap will continue to widen. And that is what’s unjust and absurd.

No, it means DC can’t even keep up with 64%. It’s a spectacular failure of will.

Wanting kids in school is not unreasonable.

Sorry.

But it didn’t happen for everyone did it? Lol. You can post all the stats you want but some of you are part of the 36%. Sucks.

AND just got rewarded for it by the federal government with a testing waiver! I think the US Dept or ED really screwed this one up.

There are quite a few teachers who won't agree to come back.

If I were a Janney teacher I would fight coming back just to piss off the people who claim teachers don’t work and treat them like servants. And then I’d quit to mess w the parents

Don’t whine to me you are really hurting the kids. Cause f the entitled kids you are making w the way you talk.

Not a Janney parent, but the school will be better off without a hateful, vindictive person like you.
