But what will you really do about it? That's the rub. There's nothing parents can truly do to fight back.

Maybe consider asking why they would consider striking and possibly fight that hard to fix the problems at the school. I’m getting sick of all the anger and energy at teachers and Unions but absolutely no energy into having any idea what is actually the problem at these schools. Fight to fix the schools not to demonize people. Geez. Have you even schedule time to do walk throughs, do you have a pulse on what the problems are?

Fight to fix the HVAc! Fix the fact they had to contract out people instead of put a nurse in every school.

I think some of you all just want to be victims snd point at people to be bad guys but put no actual work in listening and fixing the very real
Problems (like mice) that exist in our schools.

why should I fight those things? I think you don’t get it - we don’t trust or respect the union, so we’re not about to rally around their demands.

So your hatred of the union supersedes your student having hot water or a working hvac system. Ok got it. Thanks

my complete lack of respect or faith in the union makes me believe that their demands are bullsh*t that have nothing to do with the interests of kids.

What job puts their clients needs before their own?

every job with a code of professional ethics, dumb*ss. but thanks for repeatedly demonstrating that you’re not to be trusted.

You know, she’s sort of backed into what’s behind this. Teachers seem to be completely out of touch and believe what they’re doing is no different than anyone else, when in fact it’s shocking to most

Honestly who cares? The fact is most teachers are getting what they believe is safe and fair. I don't believe in equality, this country has never had any.

That’s pretty clear. If there’s something in it for you, I bet your at the head of the line advocating but when you’re the one on the dole you’re happy to keep your mouth shut. And you were just taking shots at bowser for only caring about green? Geez

Oh STFU, I've been teaching in person since term 2, you know nothing. You're just salty because your little NW teachers don't want to return, can't say I blame them.

FYI teachers job is to teach, doesn't say how. If you hate DL so much feel free not to facilitate. I teach PK and my parents just plop their kid in front of the ipad, needless to say I figured out very quickly how to keep their attention.

You won't be getting in person if your teacher doesn't volunteer term 4 or your school doesn't have a plan. The end.

We'll see how things are in July.

It may be possible at schools where the teacher has 11 kids in person and the rest online. But what about the schools, which I think are the majority whose class sizes when up?

Are you expecting in person teacher A to take on some of virtual teacher B's students?

If so what is the plan for social distancing? That's literally impossible with 24+ students.

FWIW, our principal said the in-person/DL split that goes into effect Monday will be the way things stand for the rest of the school year. There won't be any more kids let in for Term 4.

Your principal has no basis for saying that. S/he might be right in the end, but s/he doesn’t actually have any grounds for believing that if s/he’s DCPS. The Mayor herself has said its undecided.

He said that's what DCPS central office told him.

Or is the union advocating for its Black teachers who may face a very different reality from yours? Assuming you are an angry white dad trolling DCUM from his Cleveland Park home office?

The PP was talking about the Black and brown families who chose DL because of concerns about covid. Not the Black teachers.

So I guess our principal is not getting the straight story from central office then, because she is saying they hope to expand IPL for term 4 if OSSE relaxes guidelines.

OSSE won’t reverse them without some kind of major public push. Currently saying they won’t make any change before summer.

Er, kids are not “clients.” Educating them is not optional for society, any more than leaving the sick and infirm without care.

Kids are indeed clients, teachers are providing a service. And if you think a nursing home or hospital isn't a job with clients you would be incorrect.

Education is indeed a necessary service, one that can be provided in home, privately , or publicly - just like hospice care.

oh ffs. fine then - we, the clients, refuse your offer of providing substandard services in a location not of our chosing. therefore, you are fired, effective immediately.

You have no power to do that. You're not their employer. No, your relative pittance of your property taxes that go directly to public education do not make you their employer.

At least you tried, though.

What a disgrace that they already say that in such a fluid situation. If teachers are vaccinated and community spread is down, they should relax their guidelines, so kids can go back to school. Why does DCPS insist on handling this emergency in such an inflexible manner, when other countries are making week-by-week decisions?
