[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much for unity, I guess the private school teachers only matter when you’re  trying to push a certain agenda? All teachers deserve to be vaccinated as do the elderly and frontline workers. This is why we need a federal distribution plan, so we are not relying on the whims of disingenuous gate keepers who want to use the vaccine as a political football or bargaining chip.[/quote]

+1 Agree. The inconsistency between states is especially causing hardship in an area like the DMV where a person might be employed in one state, have their kids in school in another etc.

IMO this particular situation, besides reeking of class warfare, is about Bowser and the Union. She knows they will balk and not open  Feb 1st, and she will say- "But I gave you the vaccine". They/public school teachers will be the 'bad guys'. She will coast on. I am not excusing it, that is just my analysis of why this group of educators was elevated about all others including ones who are [b]already[/b] working with kids![/quote]

People, there is no reason to make this is a Zero sum game- there simply are not that many Private school teachers in DC to make a difference  in who can or cannot get the vaccine. There are about 70,000 students in school in DC ( Public, Charter and Private), of which about 7,000 are in  DC Private Schools. So how many teachers are we maybe talking about ( excluding those who will be vaccinated in their state of residence of VA or MD ) ?

Let's see there is Maret, Sidwell, GDS, Lowell, STA/NCS/ Beauvoir and a few others. That amounts to maybe 1200 teachers TOTAL. Probably 1/2 or more live in VA or MD ( because most people can't afford to live in DC on a teachers salary ) So, we are talking maybe 600 teachers - easily enough done the day after all DCPS gets their 1st shot.

You really think those expensive 1-percenter schools are the only private schools in DC? There are ~75 private school in DC.

That is pretty funny that the PP thinks they can rattle off the names of all privates in DC. 
Obviously you are correct and there are a lot more private schools. The irony is that those privates are the ones who have been more likely to have all it done if their teachers in person-hence their need for the vaccine first! DC public teachers are all virtual, correct?[/quote]
