No teacher feels this way at Flushing High School! He has had countless 3020a's this year and he has discontinued extremely good teachers without tenure. He also harasses anyone who questions anything. This man is simply UNFIT to be a principal! He cannot write or spell and he is a tyrant!<br /><br />"I'm a teacher at FHS for close to 20 years, and I think that Mr. Chin, although far from perfect, has brought some stability to a situation that was out of control. The graduation rate had increased dramatically and he constantly encourages us to be better teachers and that we can reach the renewal/receivership benchmarks. Teachers that are complaining about him are old and set in their ways and refuse to try anything new. I would not let these incompetent teachers tie my shoes let alone teach my children (which is my personal benchmark for judging a teacher). Our school has some of the finest educational minds in the city who does what Mr. Chin wants and they have no problems with their evaluations. Mr. Chin evaluates teachers fairly and gives them ample time implement changes that he wants. Teachers that get into trouble with him refuse to change at all (No lesson plans, old style teaching aka chalk and talk, giving students a textbook to work out of for the whole period or showing them some Hollywood movie or TV show and calling it education). Mr. Chin clearly models what he expects from teachers and is more than willing to help them. Remember in the corporate world when you don't do what the boss wants--you get fired!<br />So those complaining teachers should feel lucky they have jobs where they can get 14 or 15 chances before any disciplinary action is taken. Although the students are far from perfect and come from the most desperate of situations, the only thing teachers can do is to do their job the best they can. If it means carrying a tracker or lesson plan with them or altering a 15 year old lesson--so be it! I will see Mr. Chin tomorrow and I hope he carries on and stays on at FHS. Who can blame him for trying to go to THHS, if I had the opportunity for an interview there, I'd jump on it too."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-60871852137004942502017-05-07T08:51:23.083-04:002017-05-07T08:51:23.083-04:00I just found out that this dishonest gutter scum P...I just found out that this dishonest gutter scum Principal Chin just got 6 proficient on the QR and met 4 of his receivership benchmarks already.

He told the staff that if less than 75% of the students are passing make sure you have documentation to cover yourself should the grades be questioned by him or anyone such as a parent. He has never asked anyone to change their grades as of today. Teachers have requested to change a failing grade to passing and he denied the request because they did not have the proper supporting documentation.

Principals are using the observation process to discipline those who are not 100 percent obedients to the wrong policies, and speak up about wrongdoing. Those of you that will excessed you may have a little more time unless you really have around 30 years. Many teachers with 30 years are also being targeted because of high salaries.

The need for "action plans." Though the real action plan was b.s. If the kids followed school rules and applied themselves, this wouldn't be an issue. Admin did not want to deal with student behavior. They did not have hard punishments for violation of the rules. Blame put on teachers for not managing behavior. So, I tended to pass more than fail. Not really fair for the kids who put in the work. Why put in the work when you can just slide on by? It kills the culture of school and turns it into a diploma mill. What these admins are doing is criminal to the highest degree. They should at the least be removed and at the most do some prison time with the "thugs" they love so much.Highly Effective King Clovishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653858157695141774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-19580109252310087062017-04-03T21:43:09.703-04:002017-04-03T21:43:09.703-04:00It is a good solution to pass everybody, so they d...It is a good solution to pass everybody, so they do not go after you.

Many teachers rightly gave failing grades, and I warned them they will get in trouble and have headaches. Now they are coming to me saying, "Why didn't I listen to you?"

So instead you offer them an Algebra heavy "Geometry" course so that they can get their math credits while not forgetting all of the Algebra content.<br /><br />IMO the Regents have failed our students by adopting the much harder CC Algebra exam when there was no real issue with the Integrated exam.

Norm Scott, the I. F.

She continued to tell me that this school takes failures very seriously and that each student who is failing, must have an action plan. I let her go on and on for about 5 minutes. I then politely told her that I do not have any action plans because I have a 100% pass rate. I explained that I didn't fail any of my 160 or so students. She looked at me in a perplexed manner and then after about 10 seconds (and picking her mouth up off the floor) she smiled. I guess I will be rated Effective again. I was trying to explain to the others about the action plan and why you would want to spend hours upon hours writing action plans when you can simply pass everyone and write zero. I think they're almost understanding me. It's almost connecting.
