It’s not just that. Many ads recent immigrants. They have very low pay and very few benefits to the job. Most of the workers know they can be fired for just about anything.

DCPS provides its teachers with some of the highest teacher salaries in the country. Teachers only teach 4.5 hours a day and get planning time and lunch time.

Yep, DC spends like $27,000 per student. Thanks for nothing!

Man I wish I got a lunch and planning time. I’m a sped teacher and the only I can meet the service hours of my students is to work through lunch and planning. But that wasn’t your point, was it?

I wish people understood how funding works. That money is also used to pay central office employees. It doesn’t all go to schools.

A list of workers that are currently at their jobs without complaint, keeping society going:
Doctors
Nurses
Hospital staff like janitorial and admins
Dentists
Hygienists
Grocery workers
Delivery truck workers like UPS/Fedex
USPS mail employees
Day care workers
Gym employees
Construction workers
Restaurant employees
Landscapers
Summer camp employees
Airline employees including pilots and flight attendants (which one would argue is more dangerous)
Retail workers like Target, Walmart, Home Depot, etc.

This is kinda what I'm getting at. We're basically saying we're fine with protecting one class of worker at the expense of another (as people send schoolkids to daycare for instance). We seem to be fine with having a massive number of completely unprotected workers in this country (not only daycare but low wage essential workers, gig workers etc). Isn't this the conversation to be having?

ok, so, most of these are not "without complaint" are they? they just have NO other choice. that's just called poor labor standards and gutted labor laws.

Actually airline employees are not in danger. They did a news story on NBC that showed the air you breathe on airplanes is cleaner than what you normally breathe. Their filtration systems have vastly improved.


I think the bigger issues are all the places you named don’t have 600 students plus 50 staff members in them for 8 hours a day. You are asking teachers to sit in a group of 12 some in classrooms with no windows.

Yes this is completely disgusting. It’s mostly because people don’t care about others.

What's your point, it's all bloat and waste if kids are not actually learning anything.

YES! Thank you!

Only 3% of the cases are tied to existing known patients. 97% in DC are coming from unknown sources. That’s way too high
