[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All teacher's unions have enormous power now with teachers quitting, retiring, etc. I suspect a deal will get done fairly quickly. One side has all the leverage and it's not even close. [/quote]

Then why no contract after over 3 years? If they have ‘enormous’ power.

Please, I encourage you to stop spreading misinformation. It only hurts us and ultimately the kids pay the price as they have been. And yes, covid was a part of that and the learning loss. I volunteered to go back in Jan 2021 but even still I understand the hurt parents feel for their babies’ loss.

But we can only move forward and we (teachers) need a better evaluation system, title 1 schools especially need more resources, we need to figure out how we can stop chronic absences and tardies, and yes teachers do need a raise. I know we are paid ‘well’ but I want to continue living in DC, I support better wages for literally almost everyone.[/quote]

If you are indeed an educator and don't realize the teacher labor shortage around the country, no one can help you. Show me the misinformation on projected teacher shortages as you claim? At this point and time, you, the teacher, has a ton of leverage. This is not three years ago. I'm on the teacher's side but you have to realize your value to win anything. [/quote]

?? Bowser does not care, she can literally see how many positions we have open. And misinformation was referring to enormous power.

If you look across our nation the teachers who got a new and better contract went on strike, please link any articles where that didn’t happen and teachers got what they wanted overall.[/quote]
