Any chance DCPS reopens in person for Term 2 or Term 3?

What would happen if we all stopped replying to the WTU-hater trolls? Can we try for a few days and see it they will persist?

We starved governmental functions and then claimed government doesn’t work. Or worse, the government is taking things for you.

When you add incompetence in the oval to roll a national pandemic strategy, you get what we have now. Only an effective vaccine will truly get us out of this mess in the US on a mass scale.

Attack the real problem and not each other.

It’s not teachers v parents — it’s parents asking why DCPS is behind NYC and some DC charters.

The problem is the teachers union. They won’t allow schools to open no matter how few people have coronavirus. Focus on the problem: the teachers union.

This makes no sense. Why are charters closed?

charters are starting to open. this will create a lot of pressure on dcps to open.

It ok if you want to be irrationally mad at teachers but that means I get to be annoyed by parents like you. Like I really wanted to try and get all my kindergarteners to enjoy online lessons, like I feel joy from not giving them hugs, or playing with them on the playground. You’re attitude disgusts me, there are no teachers who got into this profession in hopes of a pandemic so they could teach online. There aren’t teachers who got into this profession to be lazy or be judged by a bunch of horrible people who think we are happy. Who also think we don’t love our students or are lazy pieces of trash.

It’s hurtful, even if it’s online and it shouldn’t matter. And I despise people like you. I love my career, how dare you say otherwise when I had no choice.

I don’t count 3 charters as “charters are starting to open”. They are not opening for their entire student body. They are opening for very specific groups (high needs learners). I hope DCPS does this too! I’m pretty sure that doesn’t include a lot of people’s children on this forum. My child would be included as they are in a self contained program. However, once they do open for these populations people won’t be happy because WHAT ABOUT ME??

ok thanks for proving my point? parents who want kids in school are not personally attacking you or teachers as a group.

You are, when you say teachers without making any caveats. I suspect the majority of DCPS teachers want to teach in person, so long as DCPS cleans, and does any other recommend safety protocols by experts.

This is getting tiresome - I didn’t say anything here about teachers at all.

omg stop. I didn't blame WTU either. Please re-read this entire exchange. But to summarize: it's not trolling teachers or the union when parents post that they want kids to go back to school.

NP and not a teacher. Yes they are. In droves all over DCUM. If you can't see that then you aren't paying attention.

Hey remember when you sent body bags to DC government officials if they dared open schools?

If you loved your career, you’d demand schools reopen.
