[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those years DCUM parents ranted about one thing or another, always ending in, "If the teachers don't like it, they can go do something else!"

Now they have, and those control freak parents have no answer.  I haven't heard about any privates raising pay enough to make a difference. The well-paid administrators just keep doing the same old.

I left privates during COVID and moved to a DC charter for much better pay (still barely enough to live on, but that's not an issue for me) and sterling management that still surprises me every day for their genuine commitment to education over money and status.

The chickens have come home to roost.  This was a very long time in the making.[/quote]

It’s a class issue- many parents, esp at expensive privates, see teachers basically the same as fast-food workers and grocery cashiers and get INCREDIBLY bothered when folks stand up for themselves. Many of these parents will claim to want well-educated, experienced teachers but what they really want is someone to sit down and shut up and be happy to babysit their kids. [/quote]
