[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The arbitrator can’t delay the opening of schools but regardless of what the arbiter says, the WTU can [legally or illegally] tell its teachers to stay home.  So yes, there is the possibility that students will show up to school on Monday but their teacher does not.  If this happens, it would be just one more sign that the WTU could care less about students’ well being.  [/quote]

This would be a really bad look for WTU. I suggest those of you with kids offered in person show up Monday no matter what. Your teacher either will or won't be there, but it will be a very stark picture.[/quote]

To me this looks like DCPS had a bad plan. Can’t move forward without teachers? What about a compromise? Dcps should just fix the violations over the weekend.

Also these should be open to the public in real time. [/quote]

I have no doubt that DCPS is an inefficient government organization, but at this point it’s all on the teachers. They fought in August when community spread was so much lower and the weather was nice. Same in November. Now this. There’s no compromising with the teachers.

DC needs to play hardball and cancel all first and second vaccine appointments for teachers. The ones that have taken their first shots can start over in a few months at their regular place in line like everyone else[/quote]

I don’t think the second dose of the vaccine works like that.

[/quote]

It does. For one of the two mRNA vaccines, the fda approval allows up to 6 weeks vs the recommended 3. If they get beyond that then they would just start they two vaccine course over, but at a later time this summer when they wouldn’t be competing with our first responders and other prioritized people[/quote]

I think they need to be vaccinating as many people as possible as fast as possible.  Have people restart the series is asinine.  It’s a wasted dose.

I’m not sure who you would be hurting by taking it away from teachers.  People over 65?  This board has already decided they shouldn’t be a priority.  Maybe you want parents to get it first.  I guess they can be a priority.  DC’s next priority is obese people.  Should we skip over them if they are teachers too?

1000% you are a troll.

What will you troll about after Monday?[/quote]

Not a troll at all. Teachers were moved ahead based on a condition (in person education) that may go away. If so, then the normal public health priorities should take over. If DC has decided that’s the obese, so be it. How the public priorities are set is a completely separate conversation. [/quote]

Who has made your believe it is going away?  Anonymous fear mongering on this forum?  This echo chamber. Barring a snow day, school is OPENING ON MONDAY. [/quote]

From the other thread, it sounds like there’s a union vote this afternoon. Personally I’m still hoping in person happens after the snow and no more extreme measures are necessary, but I think they need to be available [/quote]
