Wow. Is that how the remaining second grade teachers were persuaded to come back at the last second? Did they realize what a bad look it was to have three of the five second grade classes IP while the other two only got CARES classrooms?

I didn’t know about this. I thought not all of second grade was back. So is the only grade that doesn’t have all the teachers back is fifth??

Nope, our K kid is still virtual even though we begged for her to come back. Meanwhile they claim to have “met all demand” for IPL in K

Lafayette is not following the 3ft rule. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were not following this rule. Lafayette is also failing to provide teachers with proper breaks. Under contract teachers are to receive 45 min lunch breaks. At best they are getting 25 mins and are in the classroom unable to leave for bathroom breaks the rest of the day.

OMG. If teachers are complaining about not getting 45 minute breaks at this point, they should leave the profession.

DCPS is hemorrhaging students and will continue to do so if it cannot educate its students. Applications were down 20% to myschooldc -- and that's the first statistic in.

They are going to have to lay off a ton of teachers. And if this is the attitude of those teachers, I applaud those pinkslips.

Don’t worry, a lot of teachers are planning on leaving. Teachers have a right to what their contract says. You have no idea what conditions are in the building.

Contracts were not written with a pandemic in mind. In unusual times, professionals need to offer some grace and flexibility.

With the same grace and flexibility you have afforded the schools?

NAILED IT.

Is this supposed to be some kind of own? I did the schools job for them this year at great financial and personal cost to indulge teachers totally unfounded fears about catching covid in schools. Now the teachers have been vaccinated for months yeah it would absolutely be great if they could show my family some “grace and flexibility” in return. And no I dgaf about how hard they supposedly worked at distance learning, it didn’t make any difference to how hard my life was.

Fifth only has 3 teachers in. 2 are home full time.

Did you decline a spot for term 3? My understanding was that demand was met (in the sense that everyone who wanted got at lease *some* IPL) for K in term 3, but then they did not expand in term 4.

Yes. Is that the only grade that doesn’t have all the teachers back in person?

No one cares what you “applaud.”

And if you’re fine with teachers not getting contracted breaks to eat or pee so you can make your kids someone else’s problem, congratulations on being a garbage person.

It's the WTU contract that is keeping kids out of school. Agree with PP - you don't want to teach, find another line of work.
