[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, for the last 10 months all we’ve heard is that private schools can “pivot” so much more quickly and are more adaptable than public schools... so pivot and adapt![/quote]

It seems that you are bitter for some reason.

Public school teacher or parent, perhaps.

Private schools employ citizens -and citizens are entitled to be treated equally.  In this case, private school teachers -  as public school teachers - have had their employment designated as an essential service.   Accordingly, private school teachers should be granted equal access to vaccines.[/quote]

NP- personally as a private employee/public parent I laughed in agreement at that post. [b]It’s a little disheartening hearing over and over that public can’t do anything right and COVID hasn’t been a problem at private schools, etc. So if covid isn’t a problem, what’s the hurry? If everything has been fine since September then it’ll be fine for a few more weeks, eh[/b]?[/quote]

Again.  Two critical points.  With the push for equality - it should be applicable in all situations where a group is defined by employment status.   Second, a choice was made amongst public school unions to not educate in person.  A choice that continues to be made when DCPS opens on February 1.

Wow there is a lot of vitriol towards private school teachers here. Why the hate? I can understand hating all the so-called "privileged" private school parents like me.  You do realize that private school teachers are sill TEACHERS not stock brokers or lobbyists.  They make low salaries and some of them (definitely not ALL at our big 3) are the only ones actually teaching. I think if you are teaching in person you should get the shot - regardless of what kind of school.

Eh?  Eh, I am sorry your child continues to be in public school. DL and you have teachers who are leaving your child behind.[/quote]

Oh, put your mask back on and get in line. Private school parents have been crowing on this board for months and months about how safely their schools are operating in person, and how superior and totally worth-it is their distance learning. Sounds like all’s going swimmingly, what’s your hurry?[/quote][/quote]
