[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTU may have won the battle to close schools for a year or so, but I wonder if they’ve lost the war to fund public schools in the future. Surely the union’s behavior over the past few months has lost the hearts and minds of many voters. I know I’ll think twice before voting for any candidates who touts their WTU endorsement. [/quote]

I am a DCPS teacher and worry that any support we had from parents or any goodwill is squandered by the union.  I wonder if budgets will be cut and Bowser won’t negotiate to increase them.  [/quote]

I am a DCPS parent. Don’t worry. We know the mayor and chancellor have cut parents and teachers out of this process
[b]And we back the union[/b].[/quote]

Why? I am a DCPS parent and a DCPS parent and I feel like the union has mishandled this from the beginning. I am grasping at reasons to support the union at this point because I feel like it has let me down. I am wondering what a DCPS parent feels like the union has done right.[/quote]

I don’t know why you’re not well-educated on this issue, but let me fill you in:
The mayor doesn’t care or can’t manage education, and plus she’s heavily influenced by charter school lobbyists. She doesn’t care about DCPS.
The chancellor came from a Broad academy charter program where he was taught how to ignore parents and teachers while paying them lip service. Paul Kihn same thing.

Together, this means there is NO real PLAN to open schools.
The principals are not being consulted!

I love my kids teachers and principal and the chancellor is trying to ram down a PR-first BS plan without asking them, or parents, what we can help with.

And the chancellor and central office are horrible at planning.

This is all pretty simple.
