[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only imagine the onslaught of angry emails and phone calls when these announcements are made. If my child loses his amazing teacher who has been rocking it at DL I'm going to go nuts. [/quote]

so privileged. that teacher is going to teach kids who need in-person learning. but hey it’s never been any secret that you all resent “those” kids. [/quote]

come on, the two are not mutually exclusive. I know everybody wants whats best for SN and at-risk kids, while also not wanting their own kids to lose out on teachers they really love. No need for the hate. [/quote]

I mean you’re literally trying to stop SN and homeless kids from getting the support they need because you don’t want to switch teachers. It is mutually exclusive. You think your child’s “love” for their teacher means SN kids shouldn’t be able to access the curriculum.

This, exactly! I'm the parent of SN kids and I can't even interact with the idiotic parents at our WOTP elementary who parrot the WTU talking points. How about we shut down schools "only when it's safe" for my kids to access education?[/quote]

Solidarity sister. I always knew they only cared about their own kids despite all the talk of their values. [/quote]

I’m think I’m not hearing your concern for their kids.  Am I missing something?  Should not the effort to understand be mutual?[/quote]

I don’t think “their” kids will fail if their teacher changes and class size increases modestly.  But I know that many kids with IEPs need to be back in person to continue learning. more globally, I am very much in favor of EVERYONE returning in the least disruptive and most rapid manner. To that end I am in fact concerned about all kids and angry that WTU and their allies are trying to sow chaos and make people fearful about returning. [/quote]

I think your distinction between IEP and non-IEP kids is a little stark.  As with many things, there is a spectrum.

Further, there are kuds who would’ve gotten IEP’s over the last 9 months in a normally functioning world.  There are the probable-ADHD kids who don’t have IEPs because they thrive on the structure and focus of in-person school but who are disasters at DL.  There are the IEP kids for whom DL has been more manageable.

The point is — it’s not a rigid us and them and you do win no support by belittling the needs of some others.[/quote]

the point is - it IS “us and them” because the PP doesn’t want to give up anything in order for kids with IEPs to learn in person.

and my comment was more about the social ostracism experienced by many of us moms with SN kids face when they first show their differences as early as preschool. The mom club is sticky sweet about “our school culture” and “empathy” and the like, until faced with being inconvenienced by our kids’ needs. [/quote]
