The teachers who are currently refusing to do their jobs, ie all of them. They’re paid a yearly salary, right? They can work an entire year just like everyone else.

No, they have ten month contracts and are furloughed for two months without pay. They will not teach without compensation. Additionally, they are not contracted to work during the summer and you couldn't force them to work, even for extra pay. It would have to be voluntary and paid at an agreed upon rate. My district has optional summer school and our summer compensation is much higher than our usual rate.

That's interesting. In FCPS, much of the curriculum was cut out or designated as "self-taught" (the parts less likely to be on the SOLs).

No kidding. They won't teach NOW with compensation.

My kid used to go to school for eight hours per day.

Now he gets 1.5 hours per day of pretend garbage school online.

And yet the teachers are still collecting their full salary, despite only doing a small fraction of the work they usually do.

Seems only fair they start teaching full time in person this summer to make up for the horrendous joke they’ve put all these children in.

I don’t expect it. The pandemic has taught everyone that teachers will say and do anything to avoid having to work.

That's not how employment contracts work. You don't like remote learning, so they are required to abandon their contract and work for free for two months? Not going to happen. Do you realize that many teachers have to work a second job over the summer to make ends meet? Are you going to pay their bills? No.
We already tried forcing people to work without pay in this country. It didn't pan out.

Ha ha.

THIS will differentiate the conservative trolls from the people who really care about reopening schools for the kids.

The DeVos types will never agree to pay teachers fair compensation to teach over the summer.
Those who really care about kids will.

So any poster here who starts up about opening schools, just ask them if they’re willing to use state or federal funds to pay teachers 25% of their salary to teach over the summer.

If they say no, you know they care about damaging public schools more than they care about kids.

The ugly truth is that the majority of DC high school graduates are not only unprepared for college or work but read and write on a 5th grade level at BEST buy many worse. Have you seen the test scores for some of these schools? I think ballot at 4% of students who met grade expectation for math. And that’s before COVID. Those kids are a lost cause. Anymore dumbing down of grade level work in younger grades will only send more UMC families out of DCPS even sooner. I now know 7 families who are leaving mid year, some would have left around 5th but now they truly see what a shit show DCPS is.

I hope there is an option for summer school. It has to be in-person. It has to be better than last year's summer school. Remember that? Originally in-person, then went virtual, and was a total waste of time for DC sitting at computer screen for 3.5 hours with a 15 minute break.

Such a complete nincompoop comment. Yes the teacher is working 1.5 hours, it's not like there are other students in the class. Also you cannot possibly know the amount of work it is. I do home visits every week, send home take home boxes every month, and do 1:1 lessons well after 5pm. Shut the F up, with your BS.

If you're jealous, try being a self-contained teacher for even ONE day.

Wtf would you do with parents who have their own issues and can't help? When DCPS doesn't even train teachers in the best practices for teaching reading? Within 3 year 54% of DCPS teachers LEAVE. Everyone squawking for teachers to quit the funny thing is half of them will.

DCPS is a a show all right, everything I have learned is from PD's I have paid for myself and my own personal experience in my masters and phd programs. DCPS just throws out the same initiatives over and over. I'm not a licensed therapist and to be honest I want to build rapport with parents but I don't want to deal with their personal crap. But I have to because it's messing with their child.

Teachers are being asked to do more and more things in DC instead of allocating things to the city and hiring more social workers and counselors.

You’re free to quit. Have some self respect. EARN your paycheck. Don’t be a leech on the government. If you aren’t willing to do your job, then quit. Stop holding defenseless children hostage to your selfishness.
