[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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
And we back the union.[/quote]

I am a DCPS parent and you should worry.  The sick out was the final straw - I will never be able to look at DCPS teachers without some level of disdain again.[/quote]

Why is there so much vitriol towards DCPS and WTU. My charter is closed too. The teachers there are non-union and still say they do not feel safe returning. If WTU was solely to blame, charters would be open across the city.[/quote]

Thank you. Especially as 61% of the wtu DIDN’T participate in the sick out. [/quote]

Where are you getting this crazy number? At my kid's school it was like 75% or higher participation because that's what the teacher told us.[/quote]
