[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I support the teachers AND I want in-person school. I don't think they are mutually exclusive. I think if DCPS actually worked with the teachers (and parents) to develop a plan with actual buy-in, instead of hatching these plans at Central and then announcing them on the news and expecting everyone to hop on board without asking any questions, we could already be back in-person with some form of hybrid. [/b]

There are teachers who want to come back. There are also teachers who don't. There are logistical problems around staffing and how to create a concurrent model. The only way to solve those problems (and they are solvable) is to be working together with teachers to figure it out.[/quote]
Exactly. I just practice simple empathy. If I wouldn't want to go back under the conditions, then I don't expect other people to. DCPS is doing a horrible job. I think a lot of the vitriol toward teachers should be going to the president and mayor. Stop bungling everything and give us some confidence that you aren't as dim witted as you seem and you actually thought even the simplest things through. If we are still in this position next August, I'll use my privilege and try to move out of the country. Then there would be a huge signal that there is something wrong with America (I mean, stating the obvious, but still...) that they aren't prioritizing putting kids in school. [/quote]

I have zero empathy for teachers, parents, the WTU, and their crony elected officials, who all ganged up on the most vulnerable kids to keep them out of school. Zero. [/quote]

Thanks, PP, but I think we can see that already. Curious as to why you keep bombing this thread that's addressed to the parents who're supporting teachers instead of sticking to the dozen or so I-hate-teachers threads that already exist. Do you think you have some new information for us? [/quote]

I actually started this thread. I’m still here to see if any of you supposedly empathetic teacher supporters actually has any limits to how long you will support the closure. So far we seem to have two groups: one group that vageuly and naively believes we will return in term 3, and another group that wants to stay home indefinitely. [/quote]
Why did you start this thread to get answers to your question if you won't even read them honestly? Seems to me most people think DCPS just needs to come up with a solid, thorough plan and we'd support it. There so far has been NO PLAN. How does that make us ready to go back? How can you feel safe sending your child into an environment where the teachers don't even feel safe?[/quote]

I'm actually grateful to OP--the frequency with which she's been posting and reposting the same stuff in this thread all morning has helped me see that the I-hate-teachers posts in the other threads really could be the work of just a handful of very agitated, very repetitive people making themselves sound bigger than they are.

That gives me hope for humanity on a tough day. So, thanks OP![/quote]

Nice “hope” you have there for humanity - there are thousands of devastated parents today trying to carry on.

And as much as you want to believe it, I am far from alone. [/quote]

Glad you have a friend, whether real or imaginary![/quote]
