what will teachers/teacher unions do next year when they can't pretend to be victims and don't have covid as a bargaining chip?

Probably teach like they have every other year, while still being underpaid and under appreciated

Uh, gym teachers in DCPS make six figures. We have the most lavishly paid teachers in the country (and also the slowest schools to reopen).

This. It's amazing how WTU members are now trying to pretend that this didn't happen.

yeah it was “just” a weency little strike to refuse to let SN kids return! totally not teachers’ fault.

I used to get really mad at DCUM until I went back to my WOTP school and realized that there maybe like 2% of the school community that thinks like the people on here and the rest actually understand that the situation was more complicated than “teachers hate kids”.
I’m glad you have your own weird little corner of the internet though. Better than having you lash out at me

Yeah, you have no idea whah people at your school think because they are scared to speak up. You can’t erase the fact that in November my child’s teachers - his actual teachers - went on strike specifically to keep him and the other kids with IEPs out of the classroom. But go on and reduce that to a caricature because it doesn’t match your little self-serving bubble. Like it or not DCUM is where you will actually hear what people think.

I agree. I now treat all parents as if they think I am useless trash. It really is a sad development but this has whole thing has pointed out to me what people really think when they are at home. Oh well

My kid’s teachers know exactly what I think, because I told them. They didn’t deserve to be insulated from the consequences of their actions. Now they have my child back in class and can see for themselves what a bad situation it is. There’s nothing “sad” about it. You took certain actions with predictable results.

Oh I agree. I just think it has changed the dynamic. But in the end it doesn’t really bother me much. This is a job, I never participated in the teacher appreciation stuff (thought it was dumb) and refused to accept any sort of gifts or gift card (it’s inappropriate and I’m not in a tipped job).

It had affected my colleagues a lot more. They thought parents and teachers were friends and on the same side. We are not. And I think it was about time for people to realize that.

you and I are in agreement then, which somewhat ironically means I probably respect you more as a professional than the “we love teachers” crowd. my child’s best teachers have been the no-nonsense pros who did not care about parents but were fantastic at what they did.

All I need is respect. You don't give your doctor gifts but you respect them. Don't talk down to me and we'll have no issues. I'm not your mammy or slave, nor your kid's. I teach IPL out of choice but if I choose to continue DL you have a few options to hope you get another teacher, homeschool, private, move, etc. That is what people do when they don't like the free service provided. Teachers have been working, if you feel the quality has been lowered you have choices.

I however do not want to run a low quality classroom, can't blame others for choosing their family and kids over yours.

FYI: you might want to take a civics lesson yourself. Public school isn't a "free service." We pay for it through our taxes. And respect is earned. I respect a lot of professionals. I lost respect for teachers who used a global pandemic as an excuse not to do their jobs while cosplaying as "front line" workers. And who continue to support a union that uses children as human shields to negotiate deals for themselves. I have just as much contempt for our mayor, who caved in to all of their demands. IPL shouldn't be a "choice" that teachers get to make based on what they "feel" is safe. It can and should always have been about the scientific evidence, which clearly showed it was safe to return. Your union rejected that in favor of lies and PR stunts.

Well said.

And you need a lessening on budgeting and taxes. Your taxes don’t pay the full freight for what your kid gets. Go do the math - look up the percentage of the dc budget that goest to public schools. Then look at your dc taxes and do the percentage - you are getting a deal. So

Also a public education is a public good like clean water or safe roads.

DP. What is a lessening? And where do you think the money for schools comes from, if not from taxes?

I lost respect for conservative liars, for example Betsy DeVos and the mediocrities who are the mouthpieces at Heritage, who screamed about unions
AND WERE WRONG.

This WHOLE THREAD is about A UNION PRESIDENT saying schools should be open NOW THAT THE PANDEMIC IS UNDER CONTROL.

The whole thing about unions has been A REPUBLICAN LIE FOR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE the whole time.

The PROBLEM WAS TRUMP AND HOW HE LET the pandemic rage out of control.

Now, we have a union president showing that Republicans were lying about unions all along.
Because Republicans want to harm workers. To enrich themselves. So they lie about unions. They jumped on this chance.

hello. it’s may 2021. to pretend that the unions are suddenly heroic standard bearers is utterly absurd, especially given that AFT is still signaling they may continue to use covid for leverage, and union supporters are still writing stupid sh*t about parents using schools for “babysitting.” Newsflash for you: my kid going to school is basically my #1 self-interest right now. As much as you want to rewrite history, the teachers unions exploited covid for their OWN interests, and made it abundantly clear that they did not care about kids. You think you can just scream in all caps about DeVod and we’ll forget that?

Newsflash for you:
My kids’ teachers are amazing and have helped them grow and learn and I love them. I back them, and I backed them when one 62 year old teacher wanted to remain virtual this winter.

Betsy DeVos and the Republicans who ran a coordinated messaging campaign against unions want to HARM my child. Their goal is to enrich themselves, they know this will hurt my kid, and they do not care. They despise DC, educated people, and the middle class.

This difference is real and the number of parents who allied with their enemies — Republicans whose real goal is to harm their own kids— shocks me.

Sorry AFT comms consultant. Your clients lost a massive amount of political support and irreparably harmed their most natural allies (parents). I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had with other parents that go “I’m a life long Democrat but I will never support teachers’ unions again.” You can pretend that that’s Betsy Devos speaking, but really, you’re going to have to internalize that your actions did more to hurt your cause than anything Republicans could have done. As for “shock,” save that for the topsy-turvy situation where teachers and Democrats are trying to claim the moral highground for **keeping kids out of school** and doing grave harm to a generation of school kids and turning the achievement gap into a canyon.

WTU member here. That is fine. I moved out of DC and refuse to let this place educate my kid. We are on the same page.
But what about Bowser? Do you really think its all the big/bad union? Or are you willing to spread the love/disdain.
