[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher v. parents fights are so depressing. The teachers are not the real problem. The real problem is systematic underinvestment in the public sphere since Reagan was elected. Part of that underinvestment feeds a culture of anti-intellectualism that lands us in a place where we don’t trust scientific experts (climate, public health) or the government. We starved governmental functions and then claimed government doesn’t work. Or worse, the government is taking things for you.

When you add incompetence in the oval to roll a national pandemic strategy, you get what we have now. Only an effective vaccine will truly get us out of this mess in the US on a mass scale.

The problem is the teachers union. They won’t allow schools to open no matter how few people have coronavirus. Focus on the problem: the teachers union.[/quote]

Let's ADDRESS the real problem.   I was under the impression that the Teacher's Union had some specific requests from DCPS that were not addressed.   For example, if a teacher is exposed and needs to quarantine for 2 weeks, the teacher does not want to take sick leave for this time.   Is this unreasonable?
