[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a big problem is that teachers don't trust DCPS admin and that makes us reluctant to return to work when we feel like they probably won't take adequate steps to protect us. I would love to teach in person and see my students again but I don't have much faith that DCPS will do much to keep me safe. Most teachers I know feel the same. Nobody thinks that central office is going to help us because they never have up to now. IMPACT has seriously eroded trust in admin. There is a gotcha culture towards teachers. So now we don't feel safe. But we love our students and want to come back. It's not unreasonable to feel scared about it and nervous.  [/quote]

This is exactly my concern. They talk a good talk but when the time comes no one cares. The guidelines for what DCPS will require and provide are probably purposefully vague so they don't actually have to provide anything. Enhanced cleaning? That can mean anything. When they don't do it, you have to complain to your building admin who are the ones not providing what's promised. I hated online teaching, but I'm also at risk. I feel like absent any concrete promises and a plan for when they aren't followed, I'm better off being at home and not having to worry about it.[/quote]
