[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, are you ok? It's not like you to get into the weeds like this. I say this without any sarcasm.[/quote]

I am a parent of a DCPS student so why shouldn't I get into the weeds? Beyond that, after a nearly a year and a half of seeing teachers blamed for every evil under the sun, I think I reached my limit. I am constantly amazed that posters here seem to believe that teachers are nothing but stupid lazy, incompetent, slackers (and now anti-vaxxers to boot), but want them to care and educate their children. I understand parents are frustrated -- I'm frustrated too -- but taking it out on teachers and the WTU is not the solution.

that’s a caricature of my position here, Jeff. School closure was very harmful to my SN child, and not justified by public health knowledge in my opinion. It is not “teacher bashing” to be upset about that. It is not “WTU bashing” to ask why they are not affirmatively supporting the single most effective way to keep schools open (mandatory vax) and instead focusing on measures that shift the burden onto my child (cohorts, distancing, masking, and quarantines/closures).  And of course there was a LOT of extremely toxic parent bashing on here — I was called a “bad parent” many times, told that my SN kid’s struggles were my fault, I only wanted free daycare, etc.
