From another DCPS teacher.

Don't speak for me; what the union has done is a travesty.

Every time I leave my house I am taking a risk and until there is a vaccine it will never be safe.

The union's kool-aid is poisonous.[/quote]

Then leave, oh wait you stay for the bonus don't you?

F*ckin hypocrite. Work at a charter school.[/quote]

I am a different DCPS teacher and agree with PP.  the vitriol is unnecessary and doesn’t help people support the union.  I can be a union member without blindly agreeing with everything the union does.  And I didn’t join DCPS for the union, I joined because I wanted to work in an urban public school system.  [/quote]

Be transparent, you joined for the bonus. You can't get it without being a member.

I also don't fully agree with the union but I'll stand by for a safe reopening, as long as we actually REOPEN.[/quote]

Ha sure I joined the union for the $800 bonus I get after taxes.  It’s probably a wash after you factor in union dues.  I joined years ago when I was persuaded by the union rep at my school.  But please keep making unfounded assumptions that every teacher who doesn’t agree with the union on this is money grubbing and a hypocrite or whatever.  [/quote]

It's about 7,500 after tax (DC tax). Guess you've never been highly effective before, figures. But to get that you have to be a part of the union.
I also just said I don't agree with everything but I'm also not kissing strangers bums on a forum, just so I can seem like a 'different' teacher.[/quote]

How do you get a bonus without being highly effective? Guess you’ve never read the IMPACT guidebook. Not sure how you can turn a $2,000 bonus into $7,500 AFTER taxes. [/quote]

If you teach math or English and earn a highly effective rating at one of the 20 lowest schools, then the bonus is higher. WOTP I can get $2000 pre-tax.[/quote]

Hahahahaha omg. ‘Urban schools’ You teach in an upper NW school. Lol. Thanks this made my night. Sorry for the bonus comment.[/quote]

Um multiple posters have been responding to this thread.  I never said I worked at a school in upper NW (I am not PP).  You seem like an unnecessarily combative person.  And please laugh at my experience in urban high schools and the things I’ve seen and dealt with in my classroom.  You are just looking to make it seem like you are the only ‘real’ teacher on here because your school is so rough.  Get over yourself or add something useful to the conversation.[/quote]
