[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of a PK-3 kid. Given what's going on with DCPS (in particular the grip WTU has on our children's future) are any of you considering disenrolling and moving to either a daycare or private option this year? I feel I cannot afford a full academic year of politics and nonsense DL at the expense of my child's development. Anyone out there feeling the same way? [/quote]
The GRIP the WTU has on our children's future?

I am not a teacher.   I believe that teachers need the same consideration for their health and safety that other professions provide.   I have not heard anything out of DCPS providing confidence that they have a plan to protect the teachers, students, families for in person school given the pandemic.

Have you been in a DCPS building and seen the challenges that teachers deal with every day?   Do you think the behaviors are going to magically change due to covid?   Go read last year's posts on teachers breaking up fights, getting spit on...

The teachers I know continue to step into challenging situations - they just want to be protected.[/quote]

Agree with all of this EXCEPT folks who work in healthcare, food production and distribution etc are all required to do their jobs in person. I think people are reacting bc somehow educating our children has been deemed ‘non-essential’ and teachers’ heath is somehow more important than the health of a grocery store cashier.

I know there are no good answers here but I think this is what is driving the anger toward teachers unions. And I don’t think it’s completely without merit.[/quote]

How easy is it to replace a grocery store cashier and how easy is it to replace a teacher? Education might be deemed ‘non-essential’ but DL is the best option right now until the US get their shit together with the COVID situation![/quote]
