[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also thought remote option should be dropped entirely too. But then I started thinking that if in the fall unvaccinated kids are still being told to be tested and stay home after travel or after being in contact with someone known to have COVID, then it's unfair to take away remote option when that would prevent keeping those quarantined students from missing school. At the very least I would hope schools will treat those days as async school days rather than absences.[/quote]

Well, even if they do have to offer remote options, at least they can have a dedicated teacher instead of having the poor teachers simulcast. [/quote]

Any teacher who is teaching in-person should have ZERO responsibilities to provide virtual school. Which is why the virtual option should be limited and via either a secondary provider or some kind of centralized office with a separate teaching staff.

We aren't going to have any teachers left if we make teaching so miserable no one wants to do it. And that's what "hybrid teaching" is -- just an absolutely miserable experience where teachers have to work twice as hard to deliver a subpar education to their students. That's demoralizing and miserable. Any teacher who is showing up to the classroom should get to finally just teach their kids in the classroom. It's what we should have been doing for much of this year except during the peak of the pandemic.[/quote]

If the teachers union would take positions like this, I would support them on it. It's so much more reasonable than the junk they've spewed through most of covid. [/quote]

When was the last time you heard from the union. I swear they live rent free in some of y’all’s heads. The last thing I heard them ask for was vaccinations in like January lol [/quote]

And why hasn’t the WTU stepped up to the mic?  Why haven’t they stated clearly that they support a full re-opening in the fall?  [/quote]

That’s not their job. Why hasn’t DCPS explained exactly what the fall looks like?[/quote]

They were a full partner with DCPS chancellor and CO and the mayor in keeping schools closed for 15 months. They should speak now and just as loudly to support full re-opening. Unless, of course, they don’t support it. Hard to tell. [/quote]

Because not all the WTU want to go back. They don't  want to support requiring vaccines for staff but want to for kids (well maybe not three own kids just everyone elses.) I get wanting to work from home but school isn't that kind of job. 
Waiting for vaccines for kids has been proven to be a really stupid idea. Given the majority of the country has been doing full or hybrid in-person learning with minimal risk and distribution to adults.  
No one wants to take the lead on this or the blame.. so DC will keep being a joke
