[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm disgusted by the anti-union and anti-teacher voices on this site that are constant and cruel.  In my opinion, it is really hard to dissociate that from race. Its hard to dissociate race discussions from the entire school system altogether.  The union is a way to get everyone to have an seat at the table and represented.  People who are actually SPECIALISTS, no less.

I disagree with many things that the Mayor has done, but she is not ruining my life or is a child-hater or any number of things she has been accused here on these boards.

I try to avoid the vitriol on this site and recognize these a complex issues.  There are some kids, however, who will never recover from being out of school this long.  Having worked in education for fifteen years, there is a small window to keep those kids engaged and motivated.  Many will drop out at some point due to learning loss during the pandemic.  Our society may not care or may still decide this shutdown of schools is worth that price but it is a price that will be paid.[/quote]

It is very hard to ignore vitriol in this day and age.  There is so much violence and misdirected anger about a system that has always been fundamentally broken for certain communities.  I have been in education for 15 years and worked all over this city.  I believe that children with good support and intervention will bounce back for a year of instability.  This does still not address the immense gaps in achievement that exists.  Fundamentally, the problem that I have with this site, is that it is so grounded in individualism at the expense of others.  No progress will ever be made that way. [/quote]
