[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame:
- the union
- the mayor
- that worthless Ferebee 
- the teachers themselves

don't forget our worthless city council. [/quote]

I feel truly blessed to not have parents like this. I'm on maternity leave so my kids had to to virtual for these last 4 weeks but even when we were virtual last year I cannot imagine them blaming me like this.

As if I have the power to change the districts mind. The WTU contract has been expired for years, IMPACT is still very much intact, and DCPS still doesn't support it's teachers. Those are things 99% of teachers really care about. If we are so powerful even after 10 years why hasn't it changed?

What makes the pandemic so special that you all really think the WTU has that much power? We lost our president a while ago, if we were 'strong' DCPS could have easily said, 'Ok last 6 weeks IPL for everyone.'

But we all must blame someone. A public school teacher seems like an easy target. Women love to tear each other down after all.[/quote]

Teachers refused to show up for work. They effectively went on an illegal strike. Even as daycares, private schools and public schools almost everywhere else were open. This isn't that complicated. [/quote]

This line strikes me as odd. They are at work, it's just not optimal. I was working when I taught online and I was working in person, IPL obviously just yields better results.
And? So teachers have to hold up the contract while DCPS doesn't? Is that why my class is over capacity illegally every year?

No, it's not complicated but you are making it so. I wonder if you have such a low opinion of teachers in this area why you wouldn't just exit? I would not want my child to be taught by someone I hate or who hates me.[/quote]
