This is what happens when DCPS & the Mayor disrespect & disregard & ignore & refuse to hear the ideas of teachers and principals. You can’t teach people like crap & expect people to just take it forever. Call the mayor & tell her to get to the table & negotiate in good faith finally.

They won’t care, money is not the issue.

Also stop, your child isn’t the center of their world. Since people love to compare us to other countries how about the children who don’t get school and are sold as soldiers? Or the ones who have to walk 10 miles to school no matter the weather? The homeless ones without decent shelter? All pre-Covid.

Count your blessings and stop acting like a spoiled child because you aren’t getting what you want.


child soldiers is your comparator group?


One of them, unless you have selective blindness?

I feel exactly the same way. Not a penny.



You shouldn’t be giving teachers a holiday gift anyway. The limit is $25 total.

Seriously. They get the entire rest of the week off from having to deign themselves to see children on a screen, they need to pull this nonsense as well while our taxes pay their salaries? Public sector unions should be banned.


It’s interesting how you think if they’re not working with kids they have the day off. You do know planning is work right?

Or should we stop paying lawyers, doctors, office workers, etc for any paperwork or planning they have to do?

Same.

I’d have reconsidered if my kids teachers at least had the moral fortitude to say honestly why they aren’t working. None of them did. They just lied.
Great example for the kids.

2nd grade teacher at NE school posted assignments but simply said she'd be out.

My child’s teacher emailed and said it was because of the union dispute. My high schoolers teacher offered no explanation.

P.s.: I hope the mayor has the guts to stand up to this and insist on in-person beginning Nov 9.
