Yes, I am old, but I am not stupid. I see many young teachers so terrified of administrators that when told to jump, their only question is, "How high?" You have no idea what we have been through and people with attitudes like yours do not make our lives easier. Most of us can remember back to the days when teachers were considered thinking human beings and we were allowed to practice our craft.<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-78284537166126569782016-10-23T09:01:27.191-04:002016-10-23T09:01:27.191-04:009:47,

You said it would be overturned. Was It? I suppose she is sue-ing you for damages now. How's the civil suit Going?<br /><br />To Anonymous 12:04 AM:<br />Glad you asked. My hardcore emails replying to the AP's prior smears in her $5 million libel suit, in emails to Norm Scott, Diane Ravitch et al., and in the New York Times were bound to annoy but harassment has a higher standard in NJ law--in this matter my emails would have to contain "offensively coarse language." In fact, no such evidence was submitted at trial and thus never mentioned in the Judge's decision. On this ground alone I should win the appeal coming up next Friday. <br /><br />NB: I was charged with a "disorderly person's offense," not a felony. So minor is this charge that I was not arrested but merely summoned to answer Ms. Capra's "citizen's complaint." <br /><br />FYI: On July 1, 2008, AP Theresa Capra filed a $5 million libel suit against me and the OSI team, but dropped it after receiving my email refutation the following July 30. I have invited Ms. Capra to sue me all over again, but she dares not--and for the same reason that<br />she resists a case-closing audit. Like the DOE, OSI, DOI, SCI, NYSED, and specifically Chancellor Farina, Commissioner Condon, and State Commissioner of Education Elia, Ms. Capra knows that I (and five other teachers) told the truth about her Regents tampering at Cobble Hill. Which is why I was never disciplined after SCI absurdly reported that my allegations amounted to a hoax!

I mean I ...Mulgrew really is a weird union leader. I mean I do not want to bash Mulgrew here but it seems as though this guy is really not cut out for the job he has. The same way certain teachers are just not meant to teach, it certainly seems as though the job of UFT Leader is not meant for Mr. Mulgrew to occupy. The interesting thing though is that once these people like Mulgrew get into office, it appears that its very hard to get them out of office. I know Mulgrew has had to deal with many different issues including Bloomberg, the reformies, the press, the billionaires and such but Mulgrew just seems to be out of touch and this has been posted many times by Chaz. Far too many UFT members are complaining about how Mulgrew NEVER answers emails and the notion of how he is encouraging staff members to participate in social media yet Mulgrew has no presence on social media in addition to NEVER answering emails. I cannot help to think about how different things actually could be such as:<br />1. The ATR situation - a strong leader would have never let this happen and Ok it did but to let the ATR crisis continue for the amount of time it has - 10 years or so - is a crying shame and I cannot help to think that if I was in Mulgrews shoes I would be meeting with Farina and saying "hey carmen, lets get these educators into the schools as we are paying them and they really are some of the finest educators NYC has but it seems as though Mulgrew does nothing and does not communicate to ATRs either.<br />2. Fair student funding - I know Chaz blogs about this daily but the truth be told this funding formula has now put the best teachers on the side lines while chirpy no nothing newbies walk the halls of NYC schools looking stunned and lost simply because they never had a mentor or anything of the such.<br />3. ATR field assasins - This is a crime that is being committed and the courts would throw the key away at anyone who thinks other. Sending outsiders into a school to observe an ATR teacher in a classroom filled with students they do not know, school they do not know and is lots of cases a subject they do not know as they are observed in subjects that they do not teach!! Mulgrew lets this continue to happen without any remorse or communicative notion to the members about the situation. Simply put, shameful.<br />4. Guidance counselors and social workers are also included in the ATR pool. Mulgrew allows guidance counselors and social workers to become non existent rotating from school to school with no real positive impact on the students because they are rotated OUT of schools on a weekly/semi basis! NYC has some of the most needy students in the world desperate for social emotional help, guidance and real life counseling to help them transform into real human beings productive in society but Mulgrew has hundreds of social workers and guidance counselors "rotating' from school to school not working with students and delegated to office duties at a school such as answering phones or filing. An ATR guidance counselor told me the school she was at pulled her out of a computer lab doing college applications to the general office to answer phones. Unacceptable Mr. Mulgrew and really a mystery why Mulgrew allows this to go on without any communication to the social emotional workers in the system. Don';t forget to throw in the fact that Mulgrew allows ATR APs as well to exist!!! <br />5. Overall communication is poor to the members and 95 percent of members do not know Mulgrew, never heard from him nor do they get any type of feedback regarding status of ongoing issues. A strong leader communicates with the members often and with sincerity. <br />You cannot be a leader of an organization and not be in the forefront but rather the background!! Mulgrew is a leader from the background where he should be on the forefront.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-59902316241270071492016-10-21T09:05:51.484-04:002016-10-21T09:05:51.484-04:00hey anon 9 21

Probably about a buck as you are probably one of those charter school teachers who teach in TOXIC neighborhoods with shit and the stench of crap still remaining from the goon bloomberg days. No doubt you drive a south korean car and bring a brown bag to school everyday for your lunch probably consisting of peanut butter and jelly on stale bread. Finally, I envision you as one of those charter school jerks who rant and complain and then go out and protest - on school time - how your silly little charter schools need more suport. No doubt you work at a charter school in the toxic, filthy streets of the bronx or some other shit borough, filled with dopey charter school teachers making 30k and working till 7pm and then don't forget your saturday duty - no pay of course. Get yourself a real job troll and stay away from the real educators who have made this country great but now goon trolls like you roam the streets.
