I’m leaving my NW ES purely bc the families showed themselves to be really rude and entitled during the reopening period. I’m very excited to get out of the toxic W3 school culture.

So are you going to a different DCPS? Or what?

entitled because they wanted their kids to go to school. got it.

Thank you for proving my point. They were incredibly nasty and asked incredibly personal questions (when is your vax appointment, what’s taking so long for you to get the vaccine, why don’t you care about our kids). Meanwhile I was working 10+ hours per day supporting students and providing parents with virtual tools and just waiting for Dcps to get their vaccine distribution together. Been back since April and those that were rude can’t even look me in the eyes at pick up.

I know many people who have decided to leave the profession at least for a few years (mostly women who have very young kids and want to just stay home with them) and many who moved elsewhere during the pandemic and are just choosing not to move back. There is also the looming threat of simulcasting that makes some people (myself included) question whether another year of this is worth it.

OP here- yes, a lot of our teachers moved somewhere and are just going to stay there.

Re: Simulcasting -- have teachers made it clear to their admins and the union that this is a major issue? Because I think its something that could help move the needle.

maybe WTU should have anticipated that simulcasting might be the consequence of their scare tactics and insistence on virtual options in 2021-22. If you don’t want simulcasting, talk to your union. They did it.

I hear you and please believe I have shared my feelings about being fully back in person since the fall. It’s like screaming into the void. I was referring, however, to simulcasting for next year. The idea that we might not have regular in person school next year is absurd. If I find out I am responsible to teach in person and online next year I might consider leaving DCPS.
