They'll ignore the data. Or better yet, accuse WTU of manipulating the data. [/quote]

I really really really want to know how many of the anti-union types are real DCPS parents and how many are Republicans/astroturf.

I'd love to see a poll of DC parents on their opinion of teachers.  In my circles, parents LOVE the teachers and the teachers are working their butts off.[/quote]

Same.  I ask and ask and ask and I get the same answer.  Thankfully WTU is helping us keep our kids at home.  Ugh DL sucks but thankfully teacher X is so funny, patient, engaged; I have no idea how they do it.[/quote]

We do it because this the current situation and my choice hasn't yet been honored. I am super engaged, silly and my students show up dutifully daily, we laugh together, we read appropriately leveled books in small group, we talk about different topics in science every day, all aligned with the current unit. Me, I am dying inside. DL is demoralizing and each day is harder than the last. Seamlessly managing technology and a "room" full of 7 year olds is really, really hard. It's hard on all of us. And the worst part? All of it seems increasingly useless and just theater. On the worst days I think we should just give up with DL learning until we can be back in the school, on the best days? I feel like I may have contributed something to at least one child's education. As soon as I allowed to be back in the school teaching I will be the first one there. The only thing stopping me has been roadblocks and politics.[/quote]
