[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in general this "every school for itself" plan is going to mean inperson schooling will hinge on the reputation and relationship between the principal and the teachers. This will be where the rubber meets the road.

Good luck to the schools with principals none of the teachers can stand.[/quote]

Exactly.  The schools with bad morale and a principal that everyone hates are going to have a hard time here.  This is going to expose cracks that are normally hidden from families. [/quote]

This is true for term 2. However, the reopen committee just advises the Principal, so the Principals can go ahead and reopen for term 3 whether the teachers like it or not. The schools where the Principal actually expects staff to meet the mission will fare better overall. Many teachers don't want to go back to work and won't as long as they think the Principal is fine with it.

The Principal at our school was clear that she sided with WTU and let everyone know that she was afraid of DCPS during the events leading up to the strike. She ignores issues and pretends everything is rosy. She actually sent a message to the entire school stating that there's been very little loss of learning and no social emotional loss during DL based on a ridiculous survey she conducted with the upper elementary students. Sure, her job is easier for her to just go along with her staff and pretend that everyone wants to stay home. But she couldn't even open up a CARES classroom because no one volunteered after she set expectations that we shouldn't reopen. The teachers and staff know she isn't holding them accountable for much of anything. I'll be surprised if we reopen in any meaningful way.[/quote]

Is this Janney?[/quote]

No, it's Shepherd.[/quote]

I was going to say it doesn’t sound like Janney as the principal has made clear that she thinks the kids should be back in school and is not happy about how any of this has rolled out (including by DCPS).
