No one is calling teachers lazy. Youre just trying to find a reason to be offended by this thread.

If schools are working with DCPSB, then that should be shared with parents, too!

You are clearly not reading all the comments. Info is shared and public. Check the website.

LAMB and a number of other charters don't have any plans for reopening linked there.

So I would rephrase this as teachers are refusing to work in person and schools are refusing to force teachers to work. Which I still have a problem with because DL is not as effective as in person learning. Just logistically speaking, kids are losing 20% of their instructional time with the Wednesday’s off. That has to lead to less learning.

Of course it leads to less learning and the teachers do not give two sh%&*

There is a difference between posting info the the DCPCSB and sharing information directly with parents. Regardless, the info my charter posted doesn't reflect what we're doing in Term 2 anyway. So, we're still back at square one with no explanation of why we're still doing all virtual in term 2.

Wednesdays will no longer be off starting the 9th. Calm yourself Iago.

Teacher's care more about their own safety than your child's learning. They care about having a seat at the table.

No clue what the issue could be at charters. They literally all have top notch buildings....

Teachers don't want to go back because life is easier if you don't have to go into the office.

That is beyond untrue. Members of my family are teachers (not DCPS) and their work has doubled.

I agree, I'd rather teacher in person but I teach PS/PK sped. No masks...gas leaks at my school, and a closet sized classroom....

You're in luck, because the science shows you would be safe! I hope you're advocating to go in.

Obviously, that's not true. But let's give all the kids standardized tests, and see how productive your work has been. I bet your kids' scores would be terrible.

If it's less work to go in, maybe they should advocate for that, since statistically, they're no more at risk than the rest of us.

But no, they have apparently doubled their work while simultaneously producing worse results.

Some seriously nasty trolls on here. I’m ashamed to even be associated by virtue of also being a parent with this PP basically saying teachers are lazy fools. God I hope this parent isn’t at Lamb.

[Anonymous]

These are facts though.

That's right -- because producing results is a reflection of the talent of the worker, the tools they have and the environment they are in. Teaching virtually is like a surgeon operating in the field with a butter knife instead of a scalpel in a sanitary hospital. The surgeon can work 100 times as hard, the outcomes won't be the same. This isn't the fault of the teacher.
