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 How many student & staff deaths is DCPS ok with? #OnlyWhenItsSafe

NEVER answered: @DCPSChancellor @dcpublicschools Why does our choice not matter? #OnlyWhenItsSafe

NEVER answered: @DCPSChancellor @dcpublicschools Why are we given an ultimatum of work in person or leave without pay? How does this show care in our wellness or lives? #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
