[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to go back to the PE/Locker issue again.  So the boys got to go to PE for 2 weeks but the girls did not?  Why was that?  [/quote]

I'd also like to go back to this. Circumstances aside, parents really emailed the super about this? Just...wow.

How are your kids going to handle life? I ask in all seriousness, because this sounds detrimental to their development. [/quote]

I think it's fair enough for parents being concerned about a [b]dismissive, sexist[/b] teacher[b] declining to teach[/b] their DDs a class [b]he gets paid[/b] to teach and that the law requires them to take.

I would be more worried about the life skills of employees who are outraged at the 'customers' because the upper management dismissed a different employee.[/quote]

There isn't a dismissive, sexist teacher declining to teach children at Hardy. This toxic thought pattern is why no one wants to work at Hardy anymore.[/quote]

Many of these posts read like an orchestrated campaign to intimidate parents into biting their tongue when they should be holding their school administrators and teachers to account for their abysmal performance. Spare us the “I’ll take my ball and go home” crap. Anyone who by this point still claims they don’t understand why the PTO at al. did what they did doesn’t seem to much interest in the quality of middle school education in this town.[/quote]

We're now at the point where parents believe there is a coordinated campaign bc they just can't believe others think differently. And then to end it with 'anyone who disagrees with us surely doesn't care about children'[/quote]

You are perfectly free to disagree with the action. But threatening to quit because parents requested more competent school administration after all that has happened at Hardy this year? Please.[/quote]

DP. I hate to connect this to covid school closures because people had a range of reasonable reactions and situations to that. But NOBODY who was watching the covid closure rhetoric unfold should be surprised for a second that there is a set of teachers/unions that is outright hostile to any intervention by parents. [/quote]

We are now reaping the consequences of keeping DC public schools shuttered for a good year longer than the science said they should be. I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for the WTU to apologize to us all for that.[/quote]

There are major behaviors in schools across the county including ones that open August 2020. This isn’t just a DC thing.  I really think it’s a social media thing. [/quote]

A decent hypothesis. Honestly, it should be testable. I haven’t seen any research yet though.[/quote]
