Speaking to my inept district rep, she says that the ATR will stay if the principal likes him. Does anyone have any clue if this is true? Our union really dimed us out here. It was so dumb not to have an agreement in place that places an ATR in his/her license in his/her district. The hiring freeze was relaxed and now the left hand doesn't know what the right hand knows. I really don't get it.veteran teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-4815205473446428632011-09-11T14:46:42.109-04:002011-09-11T14:46:42.109-04:00No one cares about the fate of ATRs.No one cares about the fate of ATRs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-55951963420210950542011-09-10T21:53:27.317-04:002011-09-10T21:53:27.317-04:00Having ATRs go to a hiring fair and parading them ...Having ATRs go to a hiring fair and parading them around like dogs in a pet store is just wrong.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-91027951535408091662011-09-10T21:37:44.588-04:002011-09-10T21:37:44.588-04:00Try to find some common sense from these ideologue...Try to find some common sense from these ideologues who know everything about anything and nothing about education, fat chance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-7314751890544691422011-09-10T21:34:38.553-04:002011-09-10T21:34:38.553-04:00Bravo to Chaz, and bravo to bookworm.Bravo to Chaz, and bravo to bookworm.NYC ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780916909427584188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-87237207633697649042011-09-10T17:29:56.682-04:002011-09-10T17:29:56.682-04:00I would go even further, Chaz.

Once all ATRs have been placed, THEN, and ONLY THEN, will the principal have "autonomy" in hiring again.<br /><br />In additon, I would ADD the ATR's salary to the principal's budget, so that there no loss, only a gain in funds and staff. Doesn't end up costing the DOE a dime more since they have to pay ATRs anyway. If this is done, then maybe high schools could bring back some of the electives they have cut, schools could have Reading programs they need but have cut, and bands/choruses would be returned to schools that had to cut them. Now that sounds good for everyone.<br /><br />Which is why it probably will never happen under this current system.bookwormnoreply@blogger.com
