[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop complaining about teachers “not being honest”, we all know why that is. Collective action is a violation of their contract, they are being smart with the language. I know this is frustrating but stop asking for the “truth” that you don’t need. We all know why they are out and most are smart enough to just say it’s a mental health day to avoid being penalized.[/quote] there’s nothing smart about thinking calling it a mental health day saves them from any penalties. In fact, that’s quite stupid to believe. [/quote] I just wouldn't get too caught up in what any teacher says. For all we know, some teachers may totally disagree with this, but feel it's too socially or professionally risky not to take part. I don't think that's something you can discern from one email. (FWIW, our principal emailed yesterday to say we likely wouldn't have live class due a union action.) It's also worth nothing that, while this whole situation may be a petty frustration for some, MANY children in DC depend on their schools for care, food, and stability – and they haven't had that since MARCH. Just because this isn't objectively dire for some families doesn't mean it isn't for others.[/quote]
