[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because regardless of what Lafayette parents want you to believe, there are a core of Lafayette teachers that want to be back and have actively supported each step of reopening. [/quote]

That would be nice to believe, but lots of Lafayette teachers went on strike to protest DCPS opening in November for the most vulnerable students and were very opposed to returning in February. I give a lot of credit to Dr. B for setting the right tone to prioritize reopening.[/quote]

[b]Some teachers did strike in November because the plan didn’t serve enough students and would have disrupted most students. [/b] Teachers prevented a strike in Feb, but we don’t talk about that.  There was a vote, and the vote was no to striking. Also, that plan you all like, the plan that ends the care classrooms for 3-5, that plan was the teachers’ plan not Dr B.  But keep trying to make the teachers the villain. [/quote]

That's not accurate. Many of the teachers went on strike because they opposed reopening, not because they believed schools weren't reopening enough. It was some parents who opposed the November plan because it only served the most vulnerable children and not their own. Many of these same teachers made it clear that they didn't want to return in February either, but they were required to. Remember, DCPS tried to open more fully August of 2020, but WTU opposed it. So then DCPS said let's just open up in November for the most vulnerable and WTU opposed it for the safety of the teachers, not because they wanted to send even more teachers back.

Some parents want so badly to believe that they're on the same side as teachers. More teachers are starting to come around to supporting reopening, but that's absolutely not what happened with WTU resistance to reopening over the summer, November, or even February.[/quote]

So all teachers think and do the same thing?  They couldn’t possibly have different view points??  News flash...Not all teachers support WTU!  But keep treating them like they are all the same.  You will be left with what you created.  Teachers who have supported reopening are only going to take your sour attitude for so long.  [/quote]
