A number of people have suggested that as teachers \u201cgot what they wanted\u201d (Superintendent Bishop finally relented over reopening the schools to face-to-face instruction) we should all just move on.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be clear.<\/p>\n
Teachers did not get what they want.<\/p>\n
Teachers want sane leadership that is concerned for the health and welfare of the community.<\/p>\n
Teachers want evidence-based data-driven analysis not rhetoric and mendacity.<\/p>\n
Teachers want to teach without endangering their students, their student\u2019s families, or themselves.<\/p>\n
Teachers don\u2019t need to be told how and when to sacrifice.<\/p>\n
And teachers don\u2019t want to have to invoke a contract clause that says that can\u2019t be required to that which is unsafe.<\/p>\n
Teachers want to serve the public good, and want to work for people who feel the same way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
