[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the union bashers are barking up the wrong tree. There are no heros or villains in this story at the end of the day. Lot of mistakes on all sides. In my opinion, the mayor and the chancellor wanted the optics of reopening. They got that and now they don’t care any more. Michelle Rhee decimated the union but what did that do - not much. The only solution is to respect each side and try to genuinely work together.

no, not when one side has shown its willingness to use the nuclear option to further its own interests. that’s the union’s choice to use their power that way. and that choice means that they cannot have any role on a school board. [/quote]

Very well said.[/quote]

It’s funny that no one seems to notice or care that 90% of charter students are still doing DL too. I know that messes with the “WTU=evil” narrative, which is why posters on this board don’t acknowledge it. At the end of the day, they cannot allow charter teachers to serve on the SBOE and ban WTU teachers. It’s unfair and shows blatant favoritism to the charter sector. Make it fair—teachers either can or can’t, regardless of where they work.[/quote]

The issue is that the charters follow DCPS in many cases.  If not in rules, then in practice.  This is -- as far as I can tell -- a matter of optics and logistics.  So the WTU does have bearing on what happens in the charters.

But I'd agree that if you don't have DCPS/WTU teachers on the board, then you shouldn't have charter teachers on the board either.[/quote]
