Idk the guy talking right now is supporting mayoral control and calling what it used to be "a mess".[/quote]

And the next person testifying also support mayoral control.

Also the woman from Georgetown who has done research on DC schools is supporting mayoral control.....[/quote]

I submitted detailed written testimony in favor of mayoral control. I’m sure I’m not the only parent. [/quote]

So did I.[/quote]

I sure hope WTU is enjoying the chickens coming home to roost. Pre-pandemic this never would have been on my radar. [b]Now I woke up early in the morning to write a detailed bill analysis to make sure WTU never gets any more power than it has[/b]. [/quote]

This is so funny to me.  You think the current system is a mess, and yet you are loudly proclaiming that we should keep it. [/quote]

[b]No, I think WTU should be even more marginalized than it is[/b], since it fought the mayor to keep schools closed. Do you not realize that I actually read the bills? Is your level of reasoning “schools bad, we need school board!”[/quote]

I don't think my students teachers should have workplace protections, because I disagree with their policies[/quote]

strawman[/quote]

I don't see the strawman. I see bolded points saying exactly that[/quote]

let me make it easier for you. wanting to prevent WTU from having too much power does not logically mean that I want no workplace protections. The dispute about closing schools is far more than a policy disagreement. [/quote]

I think the WTU policies on reopening (which aligned with principals, the SBOE, and a majority of DCPS parents) led to a safer reopening, a more collaborative process (RCC's), and an opportunity for teachers to get vaccinated faster. You disagree with their policy and wanted the Mayor and her appointed Chancellor to do as they wished without consequence or input.

These are two different policies; we have different opinions. [/quote]
