Wow! Back to school never felt so exciting & yet anxious at the same time! So happy to be with students & colleagues. SY 21-22 will be the best ever.

NEVER answered: @DCPSChancellor@dcpublicschools It is against everything I know/learned about child development to think/agree to keep students seated in 1 rm for 7 hrs a day w/ little to no socialization. Who decided this was a better alternative to virtual? #OnlyWhenItsSafe
NEVER answered: @DCPSChancellor@dcpublicschools Every county surrounding us is virtual how do you expect staff members with children to teach in person if their children are home virtually? #OnlyWhenItsSafe
NEVER answered: @DCPSChancellor@dcpublicschools In person is not going to be ANYTHING like school! Students will not be learning and we will not be teaching. There is NO SOCIALIZATION. How is this better or worth all the risk? #OnlyWhenItsSafe
Does SCPS understand how many teachers they wl need to hire when so many of us retire early, quit or take UNPAID lead? All because you refuse to provide us with a choice. #ReopenStrong#OnlyWhenItsSafe
Town Hall meeting today-so disappointing @DCPSChancellor@dcpublicschools No transparency, no answers, no details just a lecture. I am posting some of the questions my colleagues asked & were NEVER answered!
