I think there is a difference and should be differentiated that there are people who are anti-vax and those that are vaccine hesitant. I understand that Blacks are vaccine hesitant. It’s different than privileged higher socioeconomic anti-vax’ers who relay on others creating herd immunity. For Blacks there’s a history of mistreatment when it comes to medical trials. There’s a reason for the mistrust in the medical industry and the institutions. For instance, look at the clinical trials for COVID vaccine in children. 85% white, 11% Hispanic and about 5% Black. Another layer of complexity is access to the vaccines. I bring all this up because Charters serve a larger percentage of Blacks. So they’re hesitancy seems founded. It’s unfortunate but I understand.

Now tell me again why you can’t go IB if IPL is the most important thing for you

we’re IB and I know people who returned to IB from charters to get in person seats. I’m not sure what your point is. My point is that the primary equity issue right now is getting all kids back into the classroom.

This is a definition of equality, not equity. Try again.

it is neither equitable nor equal for black kids to be segregated into a form of education (virtual) that **everyone knows** is worse.

I swear, you people trying to leverage racial justice talk to defend school closures are just the worst.

The point the poster was making is that DC public schools are not funded equitably. All they were asking was that you bring this same energy to that fight as the reopening. But thanks for the you peopling

DP. how are DC schools not funded equitably?

HSA’s paying for extra things is just one glaring example.

The article says that 28% of DCPS kids are in person at least once a week, and that it's a disaster that only 30% of charter school students are.

I'm not sure how they get that charters are worse. It sounds like both have failed, but pulling charters and sending kids back to DCPS isn't the solution if DCPS isn't better.

The article also says the vast majority of that 30% are only at two schools systems, KIPP and Friendship.

I’m glad to hear KIPP stepped up. They struck me as an organization that would be focused on reopening. If only WaPo had bothered to drill down to find out why and how KIPP did it and what accounts for their success.

KIPP did not step up. The article says that they brought back only 20% of their students to in person (and does not say how many days per week that is).

The article doesn't actually say that the vast majority of the 30% IP are from these two. Only that they are the 2 largest systems. Not sure where PP got that from.

what energy to what fight? the fight now is to provide the bare minimum, which is kids in the classroom. If the charters lack funding to do that, yes that’s a problem. but the article says that charters do have access to some reopening funds.

That’s what I mean by it’s a badly written article even for Stein. Who edited this crap?

Might be a helpful read.

Yes I’ve heard of confirmation bias.

Stein however has reported decently well on the schools fiasco this year, and the city bungling. This one is even below that rather low bar.

LOL! Don't quit your day job, Internet lawyer.

And oh, please, please do the predictable thing, lie and claim to actually be a lawyer. Please. It's been a long week already and I could use a laugh.

just wait and see!

+1

-1. What's your source for this claim? "A lot?" A lot of them are NOT antivaxxers, but have children under 12 who are not eligible for vaccination and do not want to send them into (likely unmasked and distanced in name only, if at all, by the fall) petrie dishes. Try again.

read the article. the two quoted parents are antivax.
