[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason DC schools have been closed so long is because of WTU. Bowser wanted schools to reopen in August, the medical community said it was totally safe and teachers refused to go to work because they didn’t *feel* it was safe (and they’d get paid the same regardless of whether they showed up for work so it was no skin off their back). That’s the only reason schools have been closed so long even as schools in most of the rest of the country, not to mention private schools and daycares in DC, were open for business.[/quote]

This. It's amazing how WTU members are now trying to pretend that this didn't happen.[/quote]

There was a sick out. Teachers called out sick to protest school opening.[/quote]

The school reopening that teachers protested with their sick out would’ve led to 40+ person virtual classes for kindergartners with no guarantees of CDC protocols being met, and the possibility that your child may be taught reading by the Spanish teacher. Seems like it was worth it to force DCPS to actually interact with schools and parents.[/quote]

Yeah.  That November plan was a terrible plan for most students.  Ferebee and Bowser are to blame for that one.

But overall, the WTU has been hysterical and self-obsessed, as though teachers are somehow uniquely precious.  [/quote]

No, it wasn’t a terrible plan. It was the first step in showing kids could return safely and it was to support the kids who needed to be in school. The WTU freaked out about safety (scaring Ward 7 and 8 parents, which still has repercussions) and a handful of dog-in-the-manger Nice White Parents showed they really only care about themselves and tanked the plan. Mysteriously, those same parents were quite ready to bulldoze their way into school for T4 and no longer cared about switching teachers, which had been so UNTHINKABLE before![/quote]
