There is nothing subtle about this. It isn't about the color green, the DOE is paying for us ( ATRs) and for the newbies. I'm white and this is very clear to me. It seems like many don't want to admit that this is going on in 2014 in NYC and everyone is turning a blind eye to it because we're getting paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-38248299689712180662014-02-08T20:53:11.919-05:002014-02-08T20:53:11.919-05:00Everyone should be emailing Farina, Mulgrew and Ar...Everyone should be emailing Farina, Mulgrew and Arundell about this. If Farina has any sense, and the UFT seems to love her because she is an educator, she would know that observing a "sub" is ridiculous. Check out Jeffrey Winograd, gives everybody a U, union knows all about it, guess what, nothing done.

Many ATRs I've talked to have received U s. How can you walk into a class you've never been in before and be rated?! The union isn't fighting this? Why? I asked a delegate to bring this up several weeks ago at a meeting. I don't know the outcome because I left that school. One ATR I know hasn't taught in seven years and is a nervous wreck. Another ATR I know was openly ridiculed by the supervisor. Every ATR I know (including myself) was asked "when do you plan to retire?" and you need to "think seriously about another career". The Daily News forgot to mention the stats on the age and race of ATRs. Almost every ATR I know is over 50 and Black or Hispanic. Almost every non-ATR teacher I meet in the schools is under 30 and white. Why isn't this considered blatant discrimination? Because we receive our pay checks, and there in lies the nefarious design to rid the schools of those who can't be molded into sub-servant clones of a young, white Dennis Walcott.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-14285882169976291382014-02-07T21:18:10.719-05:002014-02-07T21:18:10.719-05:00I heard my principal threw the "supervisor&qu...I heard my principal threw the "supervisor" out because the ATR had already been provisionally hired and the principal didn't want the ATR supervisor (who was an ATR AP!!!) messing with anyone in our bldg.
