[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher who’s ending a hard week, and loves the kids, and has a lot of prepping and grading to do this weekend, it saddens me to read such negative comments from parents/community about our profession and working conditions we did not create. All based on a few who complained about a switch of which we also have no control. Sigh[/quote]
Yes, but a few of our colleagues are speaking about things they don’t understand, and spreading misinformation about the bidding process. [/quote]

They may not understand the details of the procurement process, but they do understand that Syphax employees treat them with disdain in ways big and small. Maybe there is some hyperbole, but I don't blame them for it.

And there are many people above who clearly think that educators have no right to advocate for better working conditions and compensation. Even looking at weekly wages, they are penalized in wages for their public service, more so in Virginia than almost any other state. https://www.epi.org/publication/teacher-pay-penalty-2022/

People are often willing to compromise on pay and benefits when they feel respected and empowered in their jobs. People used to feel that way much more in APS than they do now, and students are suffering for it.
