[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTU just put out an email asking teachers to testify about going back in the fall.

[quote]The DC Council Committee of the Whole announced a Public Oversight Roundtable on the Re-Opening District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) and District of Columbia Public Charter Schools (DCPCS) for School Year 2021-2022

The number of public witnesses will be limited to 50 individuals. Sign-up NOW. We hope to flood the hearing with Educator Voices. Those who wish to testify must register at http://www.ChairmanMendelson.com/testify by the close of business on Tuesday, July 20, 2021.

The WTU will be sending out further information and updates on our negotiations with DCPS on the return to school in the coming days.[/quote][/quote]

Yes.  Before you all flip the teachers testifying will be saying they want mandatory masks for all [/quote]

who is going to testify about getting rid of outdoor masks? can teachers stop being so freakin’ selfish for a second?[/quote]

Who is talking about outdoor masks?  And let’s be honest by October mandatory masks in all indoor establishments will be back.  Just look at LA[/quote]

right, who is talking about outdoor masks? my point exactly. if the teachers weren’t selfish they would advocate to get rid out outdoor masks. but generally outdoor masks only impact kids and non-WTU staff who monitor recess/aftercare. [/quote]

I’m a teacher and I have recess duty everyday.  Not sure what school your kids go to that teachers don’t have recess duty.  Anyway, I don’t give a flip about outdoor masks.  You wanna fight this fight…go for it. I don’t care enough to do it. [/quote]

right, you don’t care about it. selfish. [/quote]

I guess you can call me selfish if it makes you feel better.  Why don’t you advocate for it?  Why would I advocate for something I don’t care about?  [/quote]

Because you are asking for our support on things you do care about and we don't have a voice on this issue.  It's in your own self-interest.[/quote]

You must have me confused with another teacher poster here.  I do not expect parents to ever advocate for anything that I want.  I don’t ask parents to support anything beyond their child’s education.  That’s not the parents job. [/quote]

Sure you do.  cough teacher pay cough[/quote]

Nope.  I make enough money for the hours and days that I work.  Not every teacher is complaining about pay etc. [/quote]

NP who is a teacher.  I am well compensated and never ask parents to advocate for me.  I am a professional adult.  I think asking parents to help conditions at my job would be awkward and inappropriate.[/quote]
