[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a report from a teacher advocacy group in DC that lists a lot of models for what flexible scheduling could look like: https://www.weareempowered.org/flexiblescheduling.html[/quote]

I cannot believe the utter freakin’ nerve of that group. Four of their suggestions involve reducing instructional time [b]for kids, when kids are still struggling to recover from the school closures. [/b]Seriously, stfu. [/quote]

Nope. Sorry. It’s 2023. This tired, stale excuse is expired. Try again.[/quote]

you don’t get to fiat it out of existence. [/quote]

There are reports coming out on the regular about how children in DC are still impacted by pandemic learning losses caused by s extended school closures.  It’s embarrassing that people are ignoring this impact ON CHILDREN.   [/quote]

No one is ignoring this but do you think staffing shortages (teachers, social workers, speech pathologists, aides, etc) have zero impact on children?
We will never be able to fill a gap with staffing shortages or teachers who are so burnt out they aren't giving their best anymore.

You really can't sit here and say 'it's only about children,' because for school staff it is still a job. This is what teachers mean by we are not martyrs, we cannot help our students if we don't have the capacity or means to do so. You must also have known many school budgets were cut and now schools must excess 1-6 staff members.[/quote]

It’s execrable that you are pulling this again. [b]Stop holding kids hostage[/b]. Parents are in favor of more support for teachers, but NOT less classroom time for our kids. Come up with other solutions. [/quote]

Are you always this absurdly melodramatic, or only on DCUM?[/quote]
