[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame:
- the union
- the mayor
- that worthless Ferebee 
- the teachers themselves

don't forget our worthless city council. [/quote]

I feel truly blessed to not have parents like this. I'm on maternity leave so my kids had to to virtual for these last 4 weeks but even when we were virtual last year I cannot imagine them blaming me like this.

As if I have the power to change the districts mind. The WTU contract has been expired for years, IMPACT is still very much intact, and DCPS still doesn't support it's teachers. Those are things 99% of teachers really care about. If we are so powerful even after 10 years why hasn't it changed?

What makes the pandemic so special that you all really think the WTU has that much power? We lost our president a while ago, if we were 'strong' DCPS could have easily said, 'Ok last 6 weeks IPL for everyone.'

But we all must blame someone. A public school teacher seems like an easy target. Women love to tear each other down after all.[/quote]

Teachers refused to show up for work. They effectively went on an illegal strike. Even as daycares, private schools and public schools almost everywhere else were open. This isn't that complicated. [/quote]

I’m continuously amazed that parents on this board continue to bring up that single day work stoppage like it was some big, terrible event. It was basically just like another Wednesday! If DL is so bad and you and your kids hate it so much, who cares if teachers skipped one day of online instruction this year? [/quote]

PP is a troll. PP doesn’t even have kids in DCPS. Just some angry person who feels the need to constantly lash out at people. Clearly, PP has some issues.[/quote]

Go ahead and keep believing that we’re not actual DCPS parents. Do you realize there are many very angry parents right now this very second with kids still stuck in DL? While we’ve been vaccinated for months and bars are open to full capacity? [/quote]

Please leave! You are a big ball of rage. Society is bigger than just you. You need to go move to Montana and live off the grid away from people who are different because you can’t handle it.[/quote]

Or maybe there are more of us than you think. I used to be a leader of a public service union and after this year, I have finally seen the damage that is possible when labor unions stop having the public good in mind and start behaving exclusively in their own interests, like police unions. We NEVER would have thought about using any action which would hurt the less powerful. The WTU hurt kids. They give the rest of our unions a bad name.[/quote]
