I’m not a polItician, I’m a DCPS mom and teacher. COVID-19 is not a joke, it’s very deadly. Distance Learning is the best way to limit contamination. Time doesn’t need to be wasted going back and forth on in person or not in the fall. DCPS will re-open strong if this summer is exclusively used to intentionally plan, strategize and train on effective online teaching and learning. If the distance learning materials and entire system is set up now, DCPS will smoothly re-open in the fall. This is an extremely dangerous situation. People are dying of COVID-19. Teachers need to stay alive to teach students the skills they need. Students need to stay alive to learn and graduate. #welovedcps
