[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I reached out to the survey writers and asked. They said any teacher willing to report in person is supposed to select #4. [/quote]

Ok but I’m willing to do in person...but I’m not willing to take an uber to school everyday or suddenly buy or rent a car.

I emailed to ask about making buses run the same or buses for students and staff but no response.

As a result I selected option 2, even though I’d like to work in person. [/quote]

Just curious - if you were told to report to work tomorrow, what would you do? Quit? I'm a teacher too, but I am have a really hard time understanding the mentality that you think you are in a position of power to negotiate the terms for going back to work in person.[/quote]

No, I’d file a lawsuit. If there isn’t an adequate way for me to get to the school (as there was) then that should be something DCPS does something about. I’m not the only DCPS employee who takes public transportation.

Just curious what makes you think DCPS doesn’t care and know this is a concern when they put it on the survey? You can not fault an employee for a service the mayor can reinstate.

Thanks for your empathy though, nice to see teachers who care about each other. [/quote]

You would sue because you have to figure out your own way to get to work?  This is why people think teachers are being whiny and unrealistic in all of this.  Since when is you commuting to work your employer’s responsibility?  [/quote]

So you’re telling me because the buses to my school are shut down, DCPS who wants me to work in person wouldn’t provide reasonable accommodations? And I’m whiny because I have no idea how I’ll get to work?

If this is how you treat teachers who actually want to work in person so be it. I don’t think it’s whiny to wonder how I can get to school without spending money I don’t have.

It’s kind of stupid to me how a snow day can be considered a liable reason not to come in put not city transportation being unavailable. [/quote]

I sure hope you have this same feeling about the grocery store workers, city employees who are doing their jobs in person, childcare providers, etc.  They are all getting to work somehow and I am sure some don’t have cars.  Give me a break.[/quote]

You’re such an idiot, you do realize all bus routes aren’t closed right? The reason why DCPS asked is because they know routes to many schools are closed, ridership went way down BECAUSE no staff or students are on it.

It’s more unlikely that a route to a grocery store is closed and if there happens to be some yes I do think they should absolutely run it.

Give me a break, you unfeeling witch.[/quote]
