Obama is carrying the Bush NCLB mantel. With all the "accountability" eggs put in the vicious treadmill of high stakes testing under NCLB, the process is never questioned. The will bash teachers as they have done and use the scores to push us out of our jobs. <br /><br />Duncan is trying to stifle criticism by announcing he will have a "commission" to address the issues brought to the fore by the real reformers. He is going ahead with his plans to privatize education while he tries to buy time. In Chicago, he did this all the time and did nothing to address the concerns of teachers. Duncan has no integrity. <br /><br />We are watching Randi and her "heir apparent" Mulgew's actions from Chicago as well!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986133626654561239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-37678572734526927042010-07-30T00:09:21.890-04:002010-07-30T00:09:21.890-04:00Michael,

Can Randi negotiate to eliminate tenure without the teachers' input or say-so? Please clarify. I always look forward to your input.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-29600169544070860702010-07-27T18:30:52.884-04:002010-07-27T18:30:52.884-04:00At the risk of sounding paranoid, Weingarten is in...At the risk of sounding paranoid, Weingarten is in effect, if not intent) a double agent for corporate ed deform.<br /><br />The proof is to be found in what she did in Colorado. In NY, DC, Detroit, New Haven, etc., she can at least say that she was formally representing the people affected by the contracts she negotiated. In Colorado, however, she parachuted into a state with very few AFT members and helped the deformers eliminate tenure, tenure that was held by teachers represented by another union.<br /><br />While it's often pointless to psychoanalyze those in positions of power, I think she will send us all to the poorhouse with her need to have the approval and acceptance of the Overclass. The rest of us, as Alan Simpson said, are mere "lesser" people.<br /><br />Either that, or she's just on the take.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-52425359721484865202010-07-27T16:21:14.796-04:002010-07-27T16:21:14.796-04:00Actually, with the new rating system in NY State, ...Actually, with the new rating system in NY State, what happened in DC could easily happen here.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-70763118937047733572010-07-26T13:05:11.445-04:002010-07-26T13:05:11.445-04:00It is worse than that.
Don't forget that Randi...It is worse than that.<br />Don't forget that Randi has had a hand in making sure the Wash teacher union election was cancelled/postponed to keep Nathan Saunders who was opposed to the contract from getting elected before contract was ratified. <br /><br />This is the highest level of duplicity. And also check Detroit and Chicago. I guess things are just not bad enough in NYC for there to be a critical mass of activists. But time is coming.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.com
