Anyone heard from your teacher about classes today?

I have zero respect for my kid’s teachers right now.

P.s.: I hope the mayor has the guts to stand up to this and insist on in-person beginning Nov 9.

Seriously. They get the entire rest of the week off from having to deign themselves to see children on a screen, they need to pull this nonsense as well while our taxes pay their salaries? Public sector unions should be banned.

I am surprised. I thought for sure that my kid's teacher cared about her students. I was so sure she wouldn't call out. I'm an idiot I guess. So off to work I go leaving my kids completely unoccupied during the day while my husband works.

They won’t care, money is not the issue.

Also stop, your child isn’t the center of their world. Since people love to compare us to other countries how about the children who don’t get school and are sold as soldiers? Or the ones who have to walk 10 miles to school no matter the weather? The homeless ones without decent shelter? All pre-Covid.

Count your blessings and stop acting like a spoiled child because you aren’t getting what you want.

More TV. I guess.

My child’s teacher emailed and said it was because of the union dispute. My high schoolers teacher offered no explanation.

I feel exactly the same way. Not a penny.

2nd grade teacher at NE school posted assignments but simply said she'd be out.

Same.

I’d have reconsidered if my kids teachers at least had the moral fortitude to say honestly why they aren’t working. None of them did. They just lied.
Great example for the kids.

It’s interesting how you think if they’re not working with kids they have the day off. You do know planning is work right?

Or should we stop paying lawyers, doctors, office workers, etc for any paperwork or planning they have to do?

You shouldn’t be giving teachers a holiday gift anyway. The limit is $25 total.

One of them, unless you have selective blindness?

This is what happens when DCPS & the Mayor disrespect & disregard & ignore & refuse to hear the ideas of teachers and principals. You can’t teach people like crap & expect people to just take it forever. Call the mayor & tell her to get to the table & negotiate in good faith finally.
