[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a native New Yorker, I am completely and totally sick of the Washington Teachers Union/ ELIZABETH DAVIS and her unrealistic notion of virtual school-going forever... My Kindergartener is new to her DCPS school and starting a BRAND NEW SCHOOL VIRTUALLY SUCKS. I hate everything about this. I'm beyond angry at the Mayor and "leadership" but mostly disgusted by the WTU and their complete lack of concern for how badly these new learners in elementary school are going to be behind due to the WTU's  BS demands. 
NYC managed to get the kids back in school in a much more complicated school district and after a Spring and Summer of MUCH worse conditions than DC but DC teachers can not? The parents in NYC are not standing for the city shutting down the schools and are FIGHTING BACK but in DC? every parent here is too Politically correct and scared to stand up to the WTU and demand we open schools. I'm so sick of this and can't believe parents are just lying down and taking this garbage.  [/quote]

We were at public for 3 years and left for private but I totally agree. I am horrified at the way parents here are lying down and taking it. It’s pathetic. When they tried to close our MoCo private I fought so hard and within days we had won. If parents pushed back as hard as the unions THAT would be something. But I genuinely think they care more about weird virtue signaling than the well being of their kids.  [/quote]

The union is tired of being blamed for this, since they can't make any headway with DCPS their next effort will be to try to mobilize parents through their propaganda. Watch. Teachers are tired of being blamed, the WTU is going to try to bring parents en masse on their side. Personally, I was pissed that our PTA/LSAT forwarded the WTU propaganda.

I hope DCPS continues to push back just as hard, weekly updates about opening of CAREs classrooms might help but as PP said upthread most people only care about their kids - if they have arranged socialization and are supplementing whatever teachers try to push out their kids will be fine.[/quote]

[b]You mean updates from DCPS that 18 CAREs staff have tested positive for COVID-19 and its not public?
[/b]
Remember you want these CARE classrooms for the poor black and brown kids - who now get to take COVID-19 home to their parents doing shift work because now their kids are in CARE classrooms.

Yeah DCPS has no plan to update people with the public health issues that are the cause for the CARES room to begin with.[/quote]

Prove it. And anecdotal reports to the WTU don't count, are not proof, are not reliable, etc. And if you are trying to suggest that assignment to the CARE classroom is where a person contracted the virus, please prove that too.[/quote]

BTW she's a reporter but you can call her a WTU shill.  But she sites DC gov information.[/quote]

DCPS Personnel Working In-Person

Total Number of Personnel Tested Positive – Confirmed: 3
Total Number of Personnel Reported Positive – Pending Confirmation: 3

DCPS Students Participating in In-Person Activities

Do you really not understand that this means there are 3-6 positive staff cases and 12 others quarantining as a result? Also, the fact that there are 0-1 kid cases suggests that the children were not the source and the in classroom safeguards are sufficient. We have no way of knowing if there may have been in school transmission in the other cases, but it’s more likely that this is in line with rising city rates. [/quote]
