I have my teacher's back

[Anonymous]

Despite the challenges, she has showed great care for all kids in her class this term. She has repeatedly told us that distance learning is not the best and strongly wants to go back to in-person teaching. She is not concerned about her own health, she is concern about our kids well-being. Yet, she also supports the WTU, because DCPS administration has been improvising a plan to reopen. There was no real consultation of parents and teachers to come up with a plan that would fit the majority of the DCPS population (a survey is not a way of getting community input and addressing concerns). Schools have been informed about plans week by week. They should have been part of the plan, not the receivers of the plan. The plan should give solutions to all kids, specially those with SN. There are also huge differences in the infrastructure and staffing between city schools, a fit-all solution is probably not the best in this situation. Careful analysis and lots of community input is a must.

Teacher, I've got your back!

Op here. I'm actually a parent with no political affiliation.

OP, I agree, but I also think it’s fine for teachers to be concerned about their own health as well. Being a good, caring teacher does not mean that you must have no concern for yourself and your family. I just wanted to say that explicitly because you mentioned your teacher doesn’t care about her own health.

WTU refused hybrid, and has no plan to bring kids and teachers back.

I would like my tax money back. Virtual learning is a joke. I would rather pay for private tutoring. I don’t need teachers anymore. Done.

WTU and teachers lost their right to give input when they exaggerated the risks of covid in the classroom. they can’t walk that back now. what they are setting themselves up for is hardball moves by DCPS, not more consultation. They’ve put this on the footing of a pure labor-management dispute. don’t be naive.

With 10,000 (or it it 7500) per pupal allocation I could get good tutors for my kids and they would learn 100% more than they are learning now. Just give families 3/4ths of that allocation, furlough teachers and principals, and let the in-person tutoring begin (I'd happily hire my kid's teacher to come to my house for 100 dollars and hour twice a week and teach my kid with masks on and windows open. She's learn SOOOOOO much more).

I’d hire my teacher for 100/he twice a week to come teach my kids...despite the fact that all the parents are in here today being complete shitheads and actually saying they hate us and think we should be fired.

Fixed it for you

I'd like my taxes back because I don't have kids, and most kids are kind of stupid so why do I pay for this?

Don’t worry. I hate you too. And your kid will most likely hate you too.
