[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it any different than prior years?  And is it purely about teachers being disgruntled?  It sounds like some teachers moved because they....uh....wanted their kids to go to school in person and they are just staying someplace else?[/quote]

I’m leaving my NW ES purely bc the families showed themselves to be really rude and entitled during the reopening period. I’m very excited to get out of the toxic W3 school culture.[/quote]

So are you going to a different DCPS?  Or what?[/quote]

Yep different DCPS EOTP don’t want to get too detailed on here but it wasn’t too hard to find a school happy to take on a teacher with 5 straight years of highly effective scores. Looking forward to getting back to working with kids instead of placating overbearing parents[/quote]

translation: you don’t want to be held accountable by parents so you’re moving to a school where you hope that less affluent parents will be less uppity. [/quote]

DP.  It’s not being held accountable. It’s parents being overbearing and “bulldozer” parents.  [/quote]

Overbearing "bulldozer" parents are why those schools opened.  And hence why PP is moving to a school where parents demand less accountability.  She doesn't like it. [/quote]

You weren’t able to answer the first time so I’ll try again, what exactly are you trying to hold me accountable for? My admin seems to think my work is exemplary based on my reviews so I’d love to hear what I’m missing from the parent side[/quote]

Did you go on strike in November?  [/quote]

Sure did, and I’d do it again. DCPS had a haphazard plan that no part of the education community (principals also opposed this plan, as did the state board of Ed) supported. If that one day sick out was what forced DCPS to engage with their partners on reopening then it was absolutely worth it. If you’re the type of parent still butt hurt over that, well then I don’t really know what to tell you. [/quote]

Well, there you go. You needed to be held accountable, and you will continue to be held accountable. [/quote]

What does that even mean? You’re just planning on hating every teacher forever that did the sick out? That’s certainly your choice, but it’s a weird one[/quote]

No, but you better bet that I will be extremely proactive about pushing changes that I think will benefit my kid or solving problems for them. Because the pandemic closures have taught me that the system will not be accountable unless forced. [/quote]

That’s great! We appreciate parents that advocate for their kids. What will that ideally look like for you next year?[/quote]
