It seems that my position is being cut. According to Bully there is no money in the budget for literacy coach this year. Funny, when I read the budget I see extra funds. The UFT has not been of much help although I have become a target for bully defending the rights of the members. Bully is offering me a position as an AIS teacher. Bully continues to phrase this offering as "either you accept this position or you will be excessed" I have senority over 90% of teachers in my building. Slick move on Bully's part to wait until summer vacation to spring this on me. Principal's who Bully teachers do so because they have full rein to do so. This Bully takes all the credit for my work. I guess Bully is worried that others will eventually find out.So much for peace of mind.proofoflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223433380297875666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-65041167779191793202008-07-01T19:36:00.000-04:002008-07-01T19:36:00.000-04:00Justice:It is my understanding that each borough h...Justice:<BR/><BR/>It is my understanding that each borough has a "rubber room". The contract mandates that a teacher working in Queens would go to the Queens "rubber room". The exception is district 75 teachers, who all go to Queens and teachers who have had problems in their "rubber room".Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-26904272962404205512008-07-01T19:25:00.000-04:002008-07-01T19:25:00.000-04:00On August 28th a whole building is going to house ...On August 28th a whole building is going to house reassigned teachers. This building is a former High School in Washington Heights. It has the capacity to hold about 500 people and has few windows. In the "holding pen" that I was reassigned to teachers were arriving in droves. We even had teachers arrive on the last day of the school year.<BR/><BR/>This "Pelican Bay(refrence to the California Prision) Maximum Security Rubber Room" will be very interesting. Issues:<BR/><BR/>1. Are they going to house all reassigned teachers there?<BR/>2. Are they going to "enforce" the rules?<BR/>3. Will they have a Principal and Assistant Principals to watch us?<BR/>4. How many Security Agents are they going to have?(They are there to "protect" DOE personal who come to serve us with papers and not to protect the inmates from each other!)<BR/>5. What will they say to the community that is overcrowded that they have a building housing teachers who do nothing but wait?<BR/><BR/>The DOE has created a "prison culture" and now they are going to have a maximum security Rubber Room. This is very dangerous to be in a building with 400 to 500 very angery teachers, adminstrators and other suppot staff who are just waiting. Personally, I would not want to be the "prison warden" of this "Pelican Bay Rubber Room" that is to open for the new school year.<BR/><BR/>It is getting very surreal. On vacation from teacher "death row" this is...JUSTICE not "just us"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05502604957951804040noreply@blogger.com
