[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you explain more? Because I’m a teacher and everyone I know is working constantly, evenings, weekends, summer to prepare for the fall. Who isn’t doing their job? Are your teachers refusing to engage in distance learning? I’m genuinely trying to understand. [/quote]

Thank you!  I expect almost all parents appreciate teachers who work so hard, and even teachers who work only modestly hard.

The frustration is towards the teachers earlier in the thread who said they do the minimum they can get by with for DCPS so they can put in lots of hours for lucrative tutoring — and who are happy to teach pods in person while teachers (generalized) don’t want to teach in-person for DCPS.[/quote]

You do realize DCPS has a high turnover rate right? And what does ‘getting away with it’ mean in this context? Only 35 percent of teachers get highly effective. I believe effective consisted of 40% the rest are minimally effective or ineffective. And eventually those people get fired or quit.

The minimum number of hours is set by DCPS, teachers didn’t create that. Also no teacher can promise pod hours during school hours at this time, unless their school has released a schedule and they do it on their lunch break.

I also haven’t seen many pod parents say they have a DCPS teacher teaching it. This thread was caused by one person’s crazy assumption that a good chunk of DCPS teachers are doing pods. Absolute idiocy. [/quote]
