The principal of the school in trouble, has now placed in staff mailboxes the postings for teachers and staff needed this fall. Another principal has been soliciting older experienced teachers in the closing school in the building, saying that the new school needs experienced folks who can control the students. I guess with the new incentive and their own existence in the crosshairs they might hire some older atr's and staff. Sad that it has to come to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-37994268412588624332009-04-06T11:46:00.000-04:002009-04-06T11:46:00.000-04:00Principals today don't break wind unless they are ...Principals today don't break wind unless they are given orders from above to do so which leads me to the question, once this farce of BloomKlein "reform" is over and it is proven that some of these principals have broken the law will they use the "Nurenberg defense"?<BR/><BR/>"I was just following orders."<BR/><BR/>Sickening!!JUSTICE not "just us"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05502604957951804040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-64218901814642571312009-04-04T13:26:00.000-04:002009-04-04T13:26:00.000-04:00This is exactly what I have been saying for years....This is exactly what I have been saying for years.

Change rules the debate, someone has to lose out or be scapegoated for the sake of "Change" even though not much will eventually be changed. Teachers are the natural target and the only viable target, everyone is happy with the change except for a few hapless teachers. Teachers just like GM workers will be sold out and their union will not be able to do much about it even they wanted to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-77364990962721888032009-04-04T11:46:00.000-04:002009-04-04T11:46:00.000-04:00ANON:You are right.

Maybe eduction itself as we know it will pretty soon be obsolete. There are already the experiments where the computer chips are embedded in human brains, all you have to do is to change chips, be it French, or Algebra. Just maybe one day in the near future, computer technology will just pass by, or at least deminish all these nonsense in so-called education reform.<BR/>One thing I do know is that everyone seems to agree that the current education model in the urban schools does not work, change is needed. However, who is to change, not kids, not parents, not principals, then it has to be teachers. Scapegoating teachers not only makes political sense, it also makes economical sense by putting a cap on the taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-50510176627760555742009-04-04T09:49:00.000-04:002009-04-04T09:49:00.000-04:00nyc:You made my day.Ms. Tsouris:Its not how many w...nyc:<BR/><BR/>You made my day.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Tsouris:<BR/><BR/>Its not how many words, it is how effective they are.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-66179766686658829732009-04-04T09:41:00.000-04:002009-04-04T09:41:00.000-04:00You are a man of few words.You are a man of few words.Ms. Tsourisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-88212537256139375982009-04-04T09:14:00.000-04:002009-04-04T09:14:00.000-04:00Great post, Chaz.
