[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At DS’s school the K and 1st teachers are staying home (I’m assuming with ADAs, no clue) and teaching virtually. The kids will be glued to laptops at school with Interventionists supervising them and unable to meet with their own small groups. It’s a ridiculous plan. [/quote]

That is really lame.  I can’t believe all the teachers have legit excuses.[/quote]

They don't. It was just the WTU flexing so that teachers who didn't want to wouldn't have to return in-person to teaching again this year. And the mayor, as usual, caved. Parents should keep a close eye on this for the fall. There are still far too many teachers who would prefer their shoddy Zoom / Microsoft Teams lessons and 4 days a week work schedule to actually doing their jobs. Don't get me started on the number of high school teachers who spend 10 minutes with their classes then disappear for the rest of the hour. To say nothing of their refusing to grade the many assignments they give their students. The WTU and this city's teachers/administrators have a lot of work to do if they want to regain parents/students' trust and respect. Compared to the many workers who stayed on the job throughout the pandemic, (including many daycare providers and private school teachers), DC's public school teachers/ administrators are an embarrassment.

Funny I didn't know you had a dossier filled with every DCPS' teacher's mental and physical health conditions. 
It's weird parents keep trying to say this when 70% of DCPS teachers are back for term 4, it may actually be more. Many were denied ADA, I know this because I am a part of our WTU group.

It's also not just ADA but the mayor's extension of covid leave, some schools just didn't have teachers enact that because then they'd lose a DL teacher until May. So you can blame the mayor for extending that leave, which BTW wasn't specifically for teachers but all residents. :-)

What is embarrassing to me is parents who continually try and slander all teachers on this forum. 
I have been in person since T2 but I'm 23 and I don't have kids yet, I cannot blame people for taking the opportunity given to them. As any other professional would have. I'll be sending positive energy to those in such a negative headspace right now, it has truly been a difficult time for all of us.[/quote]
