[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are fools if you think teachers haven’t advocated for better infrastructure at their respective schools before covid.

I am in the middle of doing this right now. And I advocated for this before covid but having to deal with this crap and covid just makes me personally push harder.

And since when does the mayor advocate for children? By keeping schools closed for 1.5 years and not mandating vaccinations across the board?

Glad you’ll accept crumbs.

Also not saying the WTU was the best either, I was surprised how many of my colleagues didn’t return to IPL. But last school year you have no clue how many schools were in worse shape.

The fact is that the mayor did fail, she failed to open schools and assure teachers her word would be kept. She failed to communicate and build trust and continues to not upkeep schools. No point in a renovation if things don’t work afterwards.

I’d rather also have leaders who are ONLY focused on schools, while the mayor is focused on the city as a whole.

wow is that really the wtu line? the mayor kept schools closed and the wtu was an innocent bystander?

fascinating. do u think ppl will believe that? how long do you think the average human memory is? 3 minutes? yr thinking of goldfish, not people[/quote]

This. As if we don't recall that the reason schools were closed in Fall 2020 is because of WTU. Then the Mayor tried to bring back 11 kids per grade at each school who were homeless, ELL, had IEP's, or other at-risk factors. WTU's response? An illegal strike/sick out. Some clueless parents supported this because they thought DCPS wasn't reopening enough, and they weren't connecting the dots that WTU was striking because they didn't want to reopen at all, not because WTU thought DCPS should reopen more. Then WTU advocated against reopening in February 2021, but the Mayor reopened anyway. Then WTU continued to advocate against reopening by claiming they favored reopening BUT all these unreasonable demands had to be met first, which would have resulted in further delays to reopening. Then WTU tried the same tactic of making unreasonable demands as a condition for more fully reopening Fall of 2021. Now they were forced back to work and they're pushing to move control to the politicians who are in their pocket, and making false claims that they're doing it for the children.

If control was currently under SBOE, then schools would still be closed. SBOE members advocated against reopening even in 2021! [/quote]
