PP teacher here - Just to be clear. I do care about other students - including mine that would do better in person. But I have to care about my family first.

Do you ever leave your house? Do you stay home from work during bad flu seasons? Do you typically avoid evidence-based research?

Everyone does but everyone but apparently DCPS teachers also need to go back in-person when their job cannot be effectively done virtually. Teachers of ES kids cannot effectively do their jobs virtually. So either y’all should get fired, get a significant pay reduction or do your job and go back in person, unless you have a statutorily-protected medical reason for being able to stay home.

Do you drive in a car? Do you eat fried foods? Do you ever take any risk whatsoever?

OP here. I did not mean to imply that you don"t care about other students. I care about the other kids and society at large as well. But I will never put any of that before my family.

Teachers just think that they deserve everything.

Did you miss the entire point? Everyone thinks they deserve everything. Teachers wanting whatever they want is no different than you wanting whatever you want. There is nothing wrong with that. The problem is people who don't realize that everyone else has distinct needs and wishes.

I mean, I have to spend every other week at the office. Tons of people are back at work in person. If teachers aren't willing to do their jobs, they should quit or have their pay decreased significantly, or they should be made to go in. You can't do ES effectively online.

And why are PK teachers even being paid at all

Just because you're a selfish ass doesn't mean everyone else is. Speak for yourself.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU OR YOUR KID. And I know you don't give a f**k about mine.

This is why I don't hate leftists, I pity them, and I fear their power.

There is SO much pressure to signal virtue by supporting leftist causes, like public education, etc. I mean, how can a moral person be against education?

Unfortunately, all of this large-population 'direct' democracy only works if we're all angels.

We're not, and I'm glad that OP realizes this.

We design our governing systems to separate powers - by branches *and levels* of government. Government roles need to be carried out at the lowest level possible; mostly at the local level, some at the state level, and very few at the federal level.

OP has the opportunity to move, and live under a different local government.

However, I think that education can occur at the family level, with funding, by voucher, at the local level. There'd be no question about opening schools then, and each family would have the wherewithal to pursue their own educational needs.

Hows that cognitive dissonance working out for you?

Do you drive in a car? Do you eat fried foods? Do you ever take any risk whatsoever?

What do these dumb questions have to do with not giving a shit about other people’s kids?

I am the PP teacher - I am not understanding these comments about taking risks etc. I am ready. and willing to go back in person ASAP with a decent plan. I did not call out today. I understand those who did though.

I don't drive a car, I take the metro. I also haven't seen a single friend in person since the end of March. I also order my groceries online, I must admit I do go to Trader Joe's 1x a month though since they don't deliver.
