At least the foreign kids are civil and put in some effort. You know the most popular phrase I hear from American kids?

The new admins are blaming him for the fact that many students in our school cannot do math. We have 2nd and 3rd grade skill levels in our high school. That's how they come to us from their countries. He is trying his best, but most of our kids cannot do simple addition and subtraction.

However, if you were an ATR, it would result in weekly visits, observations and an Unsatisfactory. That Unsatisfactory would target you for all subsequent years you remain working, with the requisite constant visits and observations under very random and less than ideal environments. As an ATR, I'd prefer the insane principal, they can be very entertaining. Just remember you can make his life miserable with a little creativity.

Background: In 2004, Farina's Region 8 Superintendent's Office covered up my allegations of massive cheating at the school. Her LIS Kathy Pelles knew everything but claimed she never informed Farina or her Region 8 successor Marcia Lyles or SCI, as required by law. <br /><br />OSI INTERVIEW: This investigator asked M. Farina when she first became aware of the cheating at Cobble Hill. She said, “I don’t think it was when I was Superintendent. I don’t remember.” <br /><br />She was asked if she had any discussions with Superintendent Lyles about the Cobble Hill situation prior to mid-April 2004 [when the state stepped in]. She said, “I don’t remember.” <br /><br />She was asked if she discussed [the Principal's] removal from Cobble Hill with Superintendent Lyles. She said, “We discussed it, not specifics, just general background, I can’t remember.” <br /><br />She added, “I didn’t know the tests [under investigation] were Regents. I thought it was something between [the Principal] and an A.P. with inflated grades. She said that she had never heard of the complainant, Mr. Nobile. <br /><br />This investigator asked Ms. Farina if she spoke to Ms. Pelles after she realized that Ms. Pelles had failed to inform her about the cheating at Cobble Hill while she was Regional Superintendent. Ms. Farina was also asked if she spoke to Ms. Pelles about her failure to follow standard operating procedure, which Ms. Farina said, required reporting tampering allegations to O.S.C.I. and the state. Ms. Farina said that she did not call Ms. Pelles for an explanation. She said, “I was at Tweed. I was not her superior.” <br />Philip Nobilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056036270116730837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-80352758960567201112016-04-03T15:56:16.575-04:002016-04-03T15:56:16.575-04:00Had a similar conversation w/UFT borough person &a...Had a similar conversation w/UFT borough person & they swore it was going to be different. Had several long chats, where we agreed to disagree. I told him, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect to be. By June of last year, same person had to admit they were wrong. <br /><br />I told them, they only had to give one or two signals that didn't have to be collectively bargained, and folks would have been all in. Things like going back to unit teacher budgeting, and this would have not only not cost money, but saved it as they would then very easily have placed ATRs. Now they pay ATR & newbie. <br /><br />As we all know, and you document so well, Tweed not only didn't do any of these things, they've gotten worse. <br /><br />UFT/AFT leadership (and an apathetic membership that sees so few members vote in elections) have endorsed it all. <br /><br />If leadership forced Tweed to defend these policies publicly, thing could start to change.

He has good intentions, but is trying to right many wrongs by engaging in misguided social justice. Social justice assumes a basic civility with the participants that simply isn't present. This is one big reason not to vote for MORE/New Action. Metal detectors, suspensions, stop and frisk, cellphone bans weren't in place to stigmatize and hurt minority communities. Most of those directives were there to keep the silent majority of hard working and law abiding minorities safe. His policies are helping criminals, thugs, and diminish the quality and safety of almost every aspect of NYC, especially schools.
