[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how parents are challenging teachers to come up with a solution as if the district has EVER factored our voices into any the decisions they’ve made thus far. Our own union rep had to fight to be on a reopening committee in which sat NO teachers or school professionals. 
We are human capital to the district. 
Even if we had a plan it wouldnt be the one the district would choose because then they’d have to admit we actually have brains and can think for ourselves as a collective teacher unit. So why bother wasting the energy hypothesizing some utopian outcome where everybody’s needs are equitably met? Won’t happen. Somebody’s getting screwed. Lube up in preparation for the May 22nd announcement. [/quote]

But this isn't "prepare to get f***ed". It's, depending on your age, health, and the age/health of your loved ones, prepare to spend a few weeks in intensive care and maybe die, or watch your loved one go through the same because you brought it home.

If, in DC, the only reason for this is the few kids in really rough family situations who would be safer at school than at home, or the bunch of kids who aren't doing their teleschooling, send the social workers and the teachers to them. Don't pile up hundreds of people in a building.

There are so many more - orders of magnitude more - infected students and staff now than there were on March 13th. Putting even half of each school back together at a time into its building would kickstart a catastrophe.

I'm praying that she doesn't announce sending the students and teachers back into school buildings, but sending more Chromebooks and social workers to students homes.[/quote]
