[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear teachers,  You are a babysitter.  Signed, DCPS.[/quote]

Oh, come on. They are trying to walk the line between two vastly different groups of families - those who can easily walk to school and are eager to get back to work, and those who legitimately can't make it due to the lack of plowing or bus access. They think most kids can make it, but aren't going to punish those who can't. Teachers got one more day off than all other DC government employees.[/quote]

This is so, so unfair to teachers.  They'll be docked a day if they don't come in for minimal attendance.  Either open all the way or close. [/quote]

How do you know what attendance is going to be like? DCUM is seething with angry, affluent parents who want their kids back in school so they can get to work. Parents who are wage workers want their kids to be back in school. School is open; teachers need to figure out how to get in. [/quote]

Teachers are the least of my concern too.

The real issue is that the city is under a snow emergency and all kids can't get to school through no fault of their own. It's not fair to them.

DCPS KNOWS the roads arent safe and ready so why bother?[/quote]
