That is really lame. I can’t believe all the teachers have legit excuses.

They don't. It was just the WTU flexing so that teachers who didn't want to wouldn't have to return in-person to teaching again this year. And the mayor, as usual, caved. Parents should keep a close eye on this for the fall. There are still far too many teachers who would prefer their shoddy Zoom / Microsoft Teams lessons and 4 days a week work schedule to actually doing their jobs. Don't get me started on the number of high school teachers who spend 10 minutes with their classes then disappear for the rest of the hour. To say nothing of their refusing to grade the many assignments they give their students. The WTU and this city's teachers/administrators have a lot of work to do if they want to regain parents/students' trust and respect. Compared to the many workers who stayed on the job throughout the pandemic, (including many daycare providers and private school teachers), DC's public school teachers/ administrators are an embarrassment.

Funny I didn't know you had a dossier filled with every DCPS' teacher's mental and physical health conditions.
It's weird parents keep trying to say this when 70% of DCPS teachers are back for term 4, it may actually be more. Many were denied ADA, I know this because I am a part of our WTU group.

It's also not just ADA but the mayor's extension of covid leave, some schools just didn't have teachers enact that because then they'd lose a DL teacher until May. So you can blame the mayor for extending that leave, which BTW wasn't specifically for teachers but all residents.

What is embarrassing to me is parents who continually try and slander all teachers on this forum.
I have been in person since T2 but I'm 23 and I don't have kids yet, I cannot blame people for taking the opportunity given to them. As any other professional would have. I'll be sending positive energy to those in such a negative headspace right now, it has truly been a difficult time for all of us.

"As any other professional would have"??? Yes, clearly you are 23 and have no idea what a professional is. Professionals (first-responders, healthcare workers, law enforcement) don't have the option to not do their jobs. They (we) show up or we get fired. Obviously the "teacher's mental and health conditions" aren't publicly available information. But do the math: a large number of DCPS teachers refused to return in person, despite the clear evidence that it was safe to do so. Many will continue (aided and abetted by the union) to demand that in the fall. Not all of them have a legit mental or physical health claim under ADA to do so. They. don't. want. to. do. their. jobs. If they don't want to in the fall, then they shouldn't get paid, because it's my tax dollars that pay their wages, just as every other DC residents' taxes pay all public sector employees who pick up your garbage, protect your streets, and treat those who come to the hospital. Our kids' mental and physical health should be the priority now. It's been more than a year. Stop making excuses. Show up and do your job or find another one.

+1 45 yo teacher here with 2 DCPS ES kids who has not elected to exercise option to work at home.

I'm not at all thrilled that they still do not have their teacher in the classroom especially since it's Kindergarten...

ADA was approved for the 20-21 school year. It is not changed by vaccination status. It will change in the fall.

Take a deep breath and a xanax and maybe consider therapy to sort out your hatred for teachers.

Also, Ferebee made it clear all teachers will be returning in the fall in his last reopening statement.

It's not "precious." It's fact. Public sector employees answer to the public (and to their bosses, the publicly elected officials who hire and fire them). Thank you for demonstrating perfectly the appallingly entitled attitude of those who, throughout this pandemic and thanks to their unions, took advantage of their positions to refuse to do their jobs. Those of us who actually showed up and did our jobs won't forget those of you who didn't. And given that teachers' "employers" are elected officials who rely on union support for reelection, it's not like your bosses are any better. Shame on all of you.

Teachers are not elected officials.

Stop trashing teachers because you can’t handle your kids.

Is it bad that I am a teacher and I am disgusted by teachers during all of this. Teacher here with children who went back in person and coordinated care for them so I could return. Children need to be back in person.

Ah, but they weren't given a choice. That's the thing you didn't name lawyers, therapists, professors, etc. in your rant. Hmm they were given the choice and I wonder what most of them chose. Oh? To do their jobs ONLINE.

No excuses, just stating reality. Most professionals who were given the choice to stay home did. Also the old tax dollar adage is very odd, you are obligated to pay taxes regardless if teachers existed in this plane of reality because taxes exists for a multitude of jobs. Meaning that money is not yours but the city's, I know that's hard for capitalists to understand.

And I've been doing my job, in person, again. Even if I wasn't IPL, still doing my job. Ending your rant with 'do your job or quit' and having a tantrum seems to be the norm on this forum.

I'm going to sleep now and I can't wait to have positive energy from my lovely students tomorrow! We all just want to help children right? Attacking teachers isn't the way to go~

It's funny that any time a parent asserts his/her kid's right to an in-person education they are accused of not being able to handle their kids. Parents who want their kids' teachers to follow the science and actually do their jobs aren't "trashing teachers." They are advocating for their kid's right to an education. Teachers who don't want to return to the classroom are the only reason we have to advocate for that. Those teachers who are fearful or anti-science have every right to stay home. They don't have the right to draw a paycheck while refusing to do their jobs.

Have you seen this documented or written somewhere? I can't find it.. I have an up-and-coming Kindergartner in the same school so very worried about the teachers coming back.

Amazing show of empathy! You have no idea what is going on with the teacher. For example, she could have lupus and be on immunosuppressants but also vaccinated but doctors have no idea how the vaccine with work with immunosuppressants.

All of the teachers (minus 2) are showing up for Term 4. Most showed up for Term 3. Maybe you should find a better DCPS school of none of the teachers are your school are showing up.

Teachers contiuing to refuse to return after they are fully vaccinated are just really betraying their profession. Especially K teachers, where you know darn well the kids are missing crucial learning.
