[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, all teachers will be in-person in the fall and 98% of this school’s teachers are back in-person now. Stop with the fear mongering.

Is this an actual published statistic or are you just being hyperbolic?  Because I find it hard to believe anywhere close to 98% of teachers are back in person now.[/quote]

Not being hyperbolic. At the school the original poster posted about (I think other schools got mixed in the conversation along the way) 92% of all teachers are back in person and when you deduct the teachers who are not yet allowed to be in person (because they cant work with multiple cohorts- think art/music etc.) that goes up closer to 95%. So now that I am doing the actual math, perhaps that extra 3% was an exaggeration.

I have no idea what statistics are like at other schools, just this one (where my child goes).[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying. I would say your school is the exception rather than the rule for DCPS, which is why it's deeply frustrating to hear Bowser/Ferebee boasting that DC schools are "reopen." Particularly for MS and HSers, many haven't seen the inside of a classroom or a live teacher in more than a year while most of the country has managed to get kids back to school.

As for the reason why? Like Chicago, NYC, LA, and Fairfax County, it's the power of the teachers' unions, which have used the pandemic to make demands that have nothing to do with safety. Public sector unions are a blight on cities like ours (and yes, I also oppose police unions). Unions protect the worst teachers and the worst cops at the expense of the taxpayer.

Ah yes, cause teachers go around killing POC. Totally the same.

And what many of these cities have in common is an incompetent school system, of course you're going to pay when teachers were previously angry. You don't want to risk your life for that. And I'm talking about March 2020- Nov 2020, not now.[/quote]

Why talk about 2020?  That time is past and those opportunities are lost. So let’s talk about now. Why aren’t more DCPS schools, esp MSs and HSs, open now?[/quote]
