From another DCPS teacher.

Don't speak for me; what the union has done is a travesty.

Every time I leave my house I am taking a risk and until there is a vaccine it will never be safe.

The union's kool-aid is poisonous.[/quote]

Then leave, oh wait you stay for the bonus don't you?

F*ckin hypocrite. Work at a charter school.[/quote]

I am a different DCPS teacher and agree with PP.  the vitriol is unnecessary and doesn’t help people support the union.  I can be a union member without blindly agreeing with everything the union does.  And I didn’t join DCPS for the union, I joined because I wanted to work in an urban public school system.  [/quote]

Be transparent, you joined for the bonus. You can't get it without being a member.

I also don't fully agree with the union but I'll stand by for a safe reopening, as long as we actually REOPEN.[/quote]

Ha sure I joined the union for the $800 bonus I get after taxes.  It’s probably a wash after you factor in union dues.  I joined years ago when I was persuaded by the union rep at my school.  But please keep making unfounded assumptions that every teacher who doesn’t agree with the union on this is money grubbing and a hypocrite or whatever.  [/quote]

It's about 7,500 after tax (DC tax). Guess you've never been highly effective before, figures. But to get that you have to be a part of the union.
I also just said I don't agree with everything but I'm also not kissing strangers bums on a forum, just so I can seem like a 'different' teacher.[/quote]

How do you get a bonus without being highly effective? Guess you’ve never read the IMPACT guidebook. Not sure how you can turn a $2,000 bonus into $7,500 AFTER taxes. [/quote]

If you teach math or English and earn a highly effective rating at one of the 20 lowest schools, then the bonus is higher. WOTP I can get $2000 pre-tax.[/quote]

Hahahahaha omg. ‘Urban schools’ You teach in an upper NW school. Lol. Thanks this made my night. Sorry for the bonus comment.[/quote]
