Now that the disappointing Carmen Farina has announced her long overdue retirement, its time to speculate who the new Chancellor of the New York City schools will be. How about Santa Claus?
If you are a fan of my blog, Santa Claus has had little luck obtaining and keeping a teaching gig because of the DOE. You can read some of these posts Here, Here, Here, Here. and Here. However, what if Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed Santa Claus as the new Chancellor?
The first thing Santa Claus would do is to "clean house" by making a list and checking it twice to see who was "naughty and who were nice". On the "naughty list" are the Bloomberg policymakers that Carmen Farina failed to remove. Also on the "naughty list" are Renewal Superintendent Amiee Horowitz, Superintendent Juan Mendez, and various other Superintendents that obtained their position based on who they knew and not on ability. Also on Santa's "naughty list" would be the many Leadership Academy principals who think they are the CEO of their school rather than be the instructional leader. Finally, all principals that have a low staff trust factor are part of the "naughty list".
Along with the DOE employees on the "naughty list" that needs to be removed by the new Chancellor. Santa Claus, needs to eliminate or change the Farina/Klein inspired policies that hurt student academic achievement ad cause a wide racial/income academic achievement gap. The are as follows:
- Fair Student Funding
- Charlotte Danielson rubric
- Largest class sizes in the State
- Eliminate the far too many screened high schools
- Eliminate principal autonomy in hiring
- School staff budgets, based on units not salary
- No hiring until excess list is eliminated in the District
Krampus is needed to punish all those naughty leadership principals and deviant scholars, Mrs. Claus just let them all go wild.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mayor DeB first took over he was destroyed by the criminal cabal known as MainStreamMedia merely due to his resistance to Little Eva's charter expansion plans, for about two weeks. Then Mayor DeB got back in step with The Plan-the corporate education lobby (Bloomberg). After the shellacking Mayor took on attempting to implement his campaign promises, all major education changes halted cold.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that included Tweed staffing-he never got close to even touching them since they are untouchable.
What about getting rid of that skank Namita Dwarka of Bryant?
ReplyDeleteShe is untouchable. The Laws do not apply to her.
DeleteDo not forget Santa Claus would extend a real teacher buyout with a larger payout and service credit.
ReplyDeleteThe next chancellor will bring the same "joy" to teaching as the skank that is leaving. That's because this is a conspiracy. Both the UFT and DOE work for Bill Gates. They will hire someone who will push their unlawful agenda forward. To break down the public school system , the Union, Tenure, and all good-paying jobs with benefits.
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be more class action. Keep looking for any legal remedies that can be exploited. That us the path to JOY!!!
"Skank"....I just love that word....
ReplyDeleteHe should banish ATR Supervisor Justin Stark to the land of Misfit Toys. I hear they need more inbred clowns.
ReplyDeleteStark is only a hitman to do the dirty work to go after veteran teachers.
DeleteDwarka should date stark. They would make one ugly ass couple. Two incompetent idiots.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!
ReplyDeletemaybe that little elf on a shelf francisco portelos will rise up from land of misfit teachers and become the new uft president.
ReplyDeleteBad news: Stark is now the AP of Social Studies at Thomas Edison HS.
ReplyDeleteHe is a hitman.
DeleteAnon 11:58 Why would that be bad news for ATRs? IT's GREAT NEWS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame. Edison is a great school. I hope that Justin Stark does not bring a bad flavor to the school.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the degenerate, sexual deviant of a principal by the name of Howie Kwait? Why does that loser still stay in power? He’s as bad as the Nazi Steven Duch at Hillcrest.
ReplyDeleteHe likes to change grades, but under Fariña fraud us acceptable.

ReplyDeleteThomas Edison is a great school. However, the administration is notorious in going after senior teachers. ERspecially the Science and Special Education APs.
Shameful. It seems that is hunting season for the most experienced teachers. Are they too expensive?
DeleteSanta would not allow John King to be chancellor, as Gotham Gazette is fantasizing.
