[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, I agree with you. But I will just add that all of our mayors, in the past 10 years have been reluctant to close schools. I teach in DCPS and long ago accepted that the people who make decisions largely do no care about safety for teachers, students, parents ect. It plays better for them to take on this soup kitchen role. Whatever, I honestly don't care. 
There is a reason DC teachers get paid more than surrounding areas. It's because of crap like that. So either take the extra 10k and the disregard- or don't. 
As for the teachers who commute from VA and MD... My sympathy extends only so far.[b] I want safety for my fellow teachers- but those folks are kind of carpetbaggers. They come to DC for the higher salaries, so put up with the junk. Or teach in the county you live in. [/b]
  To act like DC has a history of caring about the safety of folks is just wrong. They never have. So either accept it or move on.[/quote]

I teach in DC too-if I could find some decent AFFORDABLE housing without having a roomate, I would live in DC. The majority of teachers are in my position as well-forced to commute. 
But I take it DC doesn't give a sh*t about that, and would rather drag this "soup kitchen" image on. [/quote]
