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

I think it's fair enough for parents being concerned about a dismissive, sexist teacher declining to teach their DDs a class he gets paid 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.

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.

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.

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'

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.

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.

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.

We have reached the point where all DCUM threads ultimately end: the teachers are the true victims. Not the kids. Not the principal who was removed. Nope, it is, as always, the martyr teachers.

Wonderful projecting

The Hardy teachers *shouid* leave! Go to schools where the parents and students don’t care as much about education, because then what they’re currently doing will be sufficient. It’s time to clean house.

I really don't want my 7th grader to go through what my 8th grader has gone through this year. Has there been any discussion about this AP?

Furthermore, my relationships with Hardy parents have always been beautiful and meaningful for years in and outside of the building prior to this situation. This specific group is dangerous and makes important parent/teacher partnerships uncomfortable. Your demand for IMMEDIATE removal of Principal Johnson was granted… at this point, four days after his firing, you are still out for blood. It is hiring season. Trust me you are scaring qualified candidates off.

If the snowflakes can't handle this thread then they should quit public education. Beyond amusing to watch a bunch of teachers tell parents their kids should endure chaos and actual violence but whine like babies about mean words on DCUM.

+1000000000

THIS is the culture of DCPS —- blame the kids, tell them to suck up unsafe and damaging conditions while whining about mean words on an anonymous forum and refusing to accept ANY responsibility for actually doing their job.

I’ve actually talked with a bunch of DCPS HS kids that I coach about how damaging this is. They contrast it to the culture of our team where everyone including me is expected to take responsibility for our shortcomings.

This abject culture of failure and shirking responsibility is so damaging to kids.

The fact that you compare a team that you coach in HS, where all students have presumably chosen to be there and are at a level good enough to continue competing into HS with managing 100s of middle school students tells me your bootstrap rhetoric isn't worth much
