[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t exactly understand how the decisions from Q3 meant that the offerings for Q4 were so slim. Can someone spell it out? Kids couldn’t switch teachers? But they did at Lafayette. [/quote]

Lafayette is not following the 3ft rule.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they were not following this rule.  Lafayette is also failing to provide teachers with proper breaks. Under contract teachers are to receive 45 min lunch breaks.  At best they are getting 25 mins and are in the classroom unable to leave for bathroom breaks the rest of the day.  [/quote]

OMG. If teachers are complaining about not getting 45 minute breaks at this point, they should leave the profession.

DCPS is hemorrhaging students and will continue to do so if it cannot educate its students. Applications were down 20% to myschooldc -- and that's the first statistic in.

They are going to have to lay off a ton of teachers. And if this is the attitude of those teachers, I applaud those pinkslips.[/quote]

Don’t worry, a lot of teachers are planning on leaving.  Teachers have a right to what their contract says.  You have no idea what conditions are in the building.   [/quote]

Contracts were not written with a pandemic in mind. In unusual times, professionals need to offer some grace and flexibility.[/quote]

Oh shut up. As a self contained teacher I need my FULL lunch. ALL teachers deserve their full lunch, the fact that you think we should be 'flexible' for such a thing is disgusting.

And oh, if we are going to play the pandemic game then 'oh it's a pandemic so you can have DL, why don't you be flexible and keep your kid at home UNTIL it's over?'
After all, one has to be 'flexible.'

I feel so thankful my parents aren't nasty like this. I am flexible about my planning time, I should have 45 min a day but I have 2 hours on Wednesday. That's fine, I knew IPL would have some kinks because we have no specials.
A 25 minute lunch everyday is not fine and illegal BTW. Not due to teacher contracts but actual labor laws that base how much break time one gets, based on the number of hours worked a day.[/quote]

I think teachers should get the regular amount of time for lunch.

My MSer gets less than 3/5ths of the live instructional time (DL or IPL) than in a normal year.  Where does that extra 2/5ths go? What are teachers doing during the time they usually spend teaching?  Does that all go to planning?  [/quote]

At least at my school it goes into small groups.  So while the teacher may not be with your kid they are with others. [/quote]

DP. not at my school. My kid who previously went to school from 8:45-3:15 5 days a week with a short lunch, had DL from 9-12 and 1-2, with the afternoon cancelled half the time, and Wednesday completely off. [/quote]
