It's time to start working together
for our
children.
Rally for
Respect.
Teachers and parents are partners
in working toward the shared goal of ensuring that students succeed
in school and in life. Teachers need resources, support and a fair evaluation
system that provides feedback and encourages excellence in classroom
practice. Let's work together to make good teachers better and better
teachers great.
It's time for all members
of the education team-parents, students, teachers, school employees
and administrators-to work together. It's time to demand respect
and accountability from school administrators and city officials.
The well-being of our children,
not the city budget, is the bottom line. Cutting resources from schools
and classrooms is not
the answer. Losing good teachers will hurt our children.
X Increased class sizes. The number of students in a classroom
could double-from 20 to 40 students. That means less one-on-one instruction.
X Disruptions in learning.
DCPS Chancellor Michelle Rhee's decision to lay off classroom teachers
and school employees was made six weeks after the new school year started.
X Decreased safety and discipline.
With fewer teachers and school staff, it will be more difficult to maintain
a safe and orderly learning environment.
Take a stand on what's good
for students and fair to teachers.
Respect
for students and parents.
Respect
for teachers and school employees.
Respect
for education.
