[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I do, because the unions set the baseline in DC and led the "only when it's SAFE" charge that scared parents into thinking that schools are unsafe. I 100% blame the teacher's unions. That's not to say charters don't have their own issues.  Also my kid is in a DCPS so the fact that charters have their own issues doesn't negate what unions (local and national) did in our own school. [/quote]

Yes this.  The unions did scare a lot of people coming back INCLUDING the un-unionized teachers at Charters.  Our Charter school told me point blank that the reason they are not doing IPL is because they are afraid the teachers will quit if they force them back.  The teachers are still afraid to come back.

So yes, I blame the unions for unscientifically founded positions even after the CDC and others time and time reassured on safety. I blame them on pretty much everything that is going on with the education system in DC right now including a 30% drop out of DC public schools and charters, teachers leaving the industry, etc. [/quote]
