[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care if teachers leave. Everyone is replaceable. I just want my kids back in class, in front of ANY teacher. [/quote]

You can say that, but i work in admin at a WOTP school in DCPS and we can’t fill all of our vacancies because the pool is so shallow. You will most likely see those positions filled by first year teachers or TFA type who are only around for two years.[/quote]

Judging by most teachers' comments on DCUM, it seems that most teachers hate their jobs. Maybe it's a good thing if they quit. We can replace them with people who actually want to educate children. [/quote]

Your child's "teacher" will be inexperienced, incompetent and unqualified, but as you've made abundantly clear, you don't give a damn about actual EDUCATION -- just that they're not in your house.   :roll: [/quote]

Well I think they don't care as long as their child is 'babysat' I mean many of these people who post her have typically developing, supported, middle/upper middle class kids. They could be taught by almost anyone and progress. But little do they know that their child could have grown even more with a great teacher.

The parents who do care often have a child with a disability, those advantages still help but they really do need specialized help. [/quote]

you've just argued that good teachers don't matter for non-SPED kids, so maybe....uh...don't undersell your profession in that way?[/quote]

No, I said children who are supported and/or middle and upper class.

ALL title 1 teachers have a class of 60-100% of students who are NOT like this. 70% of DCPS schools are title 1. So no, I'm not underselling at all. I firmly believe most ward 3 (non-title 1) non-specialized teachers are easily replaced. It doesn't mean their job isn't important. [/quote]

Right, so you agree with the (likely Ward 3 non-title 1) parent saying they’d rather have any teacher in person than an experienced  teacher who won’t show for in-person.  So I guess the quality of non-SPED Ward 3 teacher doesn’t matter, bc the thing that really matters is parent resources/education.[/quote]

Actually no, that is not what I said. It's never easy to teach students with special needs or ELL students. I'm not sure why you're trying to twist my words.
 I also said nothing about a DL teacher vs. IPL for sped but pop off. PP stated she just wants her kid back in person no matter what type of teacher and I am saying she likely is ok with that because if she has a typical child, who is born with resources, and has no lasting trauma, they will likely progress no matter what. This was not a comparison to a excellent DL teacher and a horrible IPL teacher.

Even with money for sped you still need a teacher who is able to deliver specialized instruction, materials and curriculum help but the person delivering it must know what they are doing. The student won't be very successful, that's the whole point of requiring specialized instruction. So if you actually meant W3 sped kids have an advantage over kids whose school's can't get money from the PTO then sure but with the caveat of the teacher being decently good. Resources won't help if you don't know how to use them.[/quote]
