DC Independent School Teachers not eligible for COVID vaccine on Jan 25.

[Anonymous]

Privates want to go first now. You told us it’s safe and everything is fine and to enjoy distance learning. You have been in school since September maybe not five days a week but what about the public school kids? What about those most at risk for falling through the cracks kids? Pathetic wait your turn.

It's because you've been willing to educate children without a vaccine that you are not getting one.

Public school teachers are a-holes who have stolen a childhood from kids and are holding them hostage until they get a vaccine. What are parents supposed to do?

And this is exactly why we are moving to private in 2021. I wish we had the foresight to move this year but I couldn't imagine affording it -- now I just couldn't imagine putting my kids back with those teachers who clearly do not care about kids at all. And i don't care if public schools go back in 2021 -- it is too little, too late. They are horrible people.

I'm sorry this is happening.

This. We can be forced back into unsafe environments because we have no union to protect us, so they know they don’t need to vax us. We will still keep showing up because if we don’t, our kids don’t eat.

Public school teachers want to go first now. After saying that nothing will be safe and they can teach exactly the same doing distance learning as they can in the classroom. You have been teaching from home and not complaining about it since September but what about the kids you're teaching? The ones who are falling through the cracks? Pathetic that now you want to be ahead of the teachers who have been teaching in person for months now.

The bolded is my gripe. It's not that teachers demanded a safer environment. It's that they refused to acknowledge the cost of safety and blame kids and parents for home DL does not work.

You do realize that many public school teachers REFUSE to return in person?

You do realize that a large chunk of DCPS parents CHOSE online and:or refused an in person spot?

Let’s get the vaccines to the folks who work in environments where in person learning is desired.

Lol private school teachers don’t want to be in person and get sick. Only you parents want us there. . My 90 year old mother lives with me I have been asked in order to pay my bills to go teach in person and expose my loved ones.

In person learning is desired by the parents. Please make sure you write that correct. We are scared and risking our health and our families health.

[Anonymous]

So private school parents don’t care about their teachers, public school teachers or public school students.

Dog bites man.

Teachers at DCPS and DC public charter schools are eligible. No independent school teachers; no daycare workers.

Speak for yourself. I much prefer working in person and feel that the precautions I am taking are adequate; I have been teaching for months now and no one has gotten ill at my school.

No one is saying "first." People who are already putting their health at risk by teaching in person, whether public, private, or early childhood / daycare workers, should be in the front of the line. People teaching from home should not be the priority. We're they the ones saying that distance learning was just as good as in-person? Then have at it.
