[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many teacher bashing posts can DCUM have at any given time?  This board has gone to crap. [/quote]

Agreed! Teachers are working 5 days a week right now! We are working just as hard as ever before. We deserve to receive cost of living and step increases AT A MINIMUM. [/quote]

You have my support when all kids who want it are back in school 5 days a week. [/quote]

You are ignorant trash. GTFO.

You can call me ignorant all you want.  I think that says more about you than it does about me. 
My spouse is a teacher and really advocating on the steps point. I tell my spouse the same thing I’m saying here - you’ll have more support for all of this once all kids are back in school. You’re the dumb one if you want to keep your head in the sand on that major public relations issue. [/quote]

No, I called you ignorant because you are ignorant.

Facts: 
Teachers didn't manufacture this virus that is easily spread in the air. 
Teachers didn't force millions of Americans to not wear masks. 
Teachers didn't force millions of Americans to not the virus seriously. 
Teachers didn't cause community spread. 
Teachers didn't cause the pandemic.
Teachers didn't design or build the small classrooms. 
Teachers didn't create the large class sizes.

Teachers have ZERO control over the constraints of "return to school". You should be happy that any kids are in person at all FFS.

Facts: Teachers all over the country threatened to quit when told to return to school last fall. 
In other parts of the country, school administrators or governors called their bluff and schools reopened.  Here, they didn't.

So teachers get the credit for keeping schools closed. Yay for teachers! It worked!

Now teachers are also getting blamed for keeping schools closed.   Oh.[/quote]

We - the parents and community - didn't push to open schools in the fall because we recognized that this was a deadly pandemic and we weren't able to address openly schools safely. Our schools are crazy overcrowded. There were much bigger community issues - feeding kids.

Monday morning quarterback forgets what it was like in the fall.

We have vaccines now. And more kids are heading back to the buildings. See how that works? Make it safe, kids will go back.

Sixty percent of Fairfax students chose in-person last fall.  How is that not pushing to reopen schools?  Forty percent of Loudoun parents chose in-person. I never figured out APS, sorry.

You're forgetting that parents have wanted schools to reopen since August.[/quote]
