Their response? "Do you want to file a grievence?"<BR/><BR/>What good is a grievence after the fact?

The whole union should know to what extent those 2 (miserable) days were abused.<BR/><BR/>There is no harm in speaking with the CL, nor any in getting the information to the Borough Office and Central.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to stop this from happening in schools again next year.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jd2718.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">jd2718</A>jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908814256266075475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-1157225832900619302006-09-02T15:37:00.000-04:002006-09-02T15:37:00.000-04:00What's the good of talking to the CL now?

Fortunately, we didn't need to go that route. I don't know what to say other than that I feel your pain.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I also teach Regents ES if you ever want to share labs.

Definitely talk to him or her. Rona and Central both should know what happened, and there is no way unless they are contacted by the chapter.<BR/><BR/>Last June Michael Mendel said they would be watching closely to make certain that "part" meant "substantial" (quote marks are mine, but he came back to the mike to specifically address this point after calls from the floor directed to the apparent ambiguity).<BR/><BR/>If you have them, send in a copy (save the originals) of the various mindless agendas and other hand-outs from these two wasted days.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jd2718.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">jd2718</A>jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908814256266075475noreply@blogger.com
