Dcps hates it's teachers

[Anonymous]

Don't want to pay them to be able to afford to live in the city, and don't have any regard for their safe commute. If it wasn't for the students I believe many would quit.

Mayor's call, not DCPS

I doubt it. They are paid well, and every year our school gets several coming from charters schools for the increased pay, more flexibility in the classroom and a more stable learning environment.

And then they leave and go back to charter. Three charter teachers began the school year at my school and have already quit.

My son's teacher lives out in the burbs and is not coming in and I completely support her decision. It's horrible out there right now and we have a one mile trek.

Not the ones I have talked to, in fact one of our new teachers said "I will never leave DCPS" - although I think he was mostly happy to get out of a KIPP learning environment.

Well at least KIPP cared enough about their students and staff to close today.

You'd think in a thread about teaching and education there would not be an incorrect usage of "it's."

+1 DS teacher just sent out a message saying she's not coming in.

Actually, it's OSSE, DCPS and the Mayor. OSSE should have made them close. If OSSE can't run school buses, which I'm sure they can't, the schools must close. Not sure what happened today.

A school bus drove down my street a little bit ago actually. It was going slow, but it made it.

DC teachers are paid well compared to nearby school districts.

Seriously. Didn't even bother to read OP's post after the subject line.

On her own dime. Yeah, I was once like that.
