[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers and parents share far too much in common for all of this fighting.

Teachers are stuck in a bad spot in all of this. I genuinely believe this.

Kids are being used as leverage. Nothing new.

Teachers and parents need to focus on their SHARED concerns. The only ones who benefit from divided teachers and parents are those who profit off of controlling teachers’ availability as leverage against parents.

Focus on education. Both teachers and parents should be willing to hold out from participating in the system until the system provides teachers the resources and support that parents and teachers both expect. Stop fighting each other. [/quote]

Nope. This isn't "fighting". There are no "both sides".

Teachers are busy teaching.

Administrators are busy trying to figure out how to open building for more kids.

A small group of entitled, ignorant parents are whining and trying to bully teachers because think they can get away with it.

Is that really what you see?

Administrators haven't been working hard for six months (September until now) trying to figure out how to get students into buildings.  Please.

Parents didn't go to Richmond (!) because they are entitled and ignorant.  They went because they care about children and education. And were frustrated by the school boards' inability to do anything.[/quote]

Yes, that's what I see. Many parents are throwing a temper tantrum because they feel they are entitled to something that just couldn't happen given our constraints. And they are misdirecting their rage towards a group of people that have very little power. They are bullies. It's been an eye-opening experience.
