In them, it ain't so common, apparently. They just vote over and over again for appallingly bad contracts and candidates, just 'cos it's got that big U on it. You would not believe how many "educators" admitted to me that they did not read the last contract, that they were "afraid to anger the Bored of Ed" by refusing it (nice propaganda work, U-nity), that it was the first contract in a long while (So that means you gotta sign it? Even if it's pure garbage?), that it meant a raise (even if the raise was swallowed up by the cost of living) and never thought about the retro pay being denied people who quit, retired or were terminated. They demonstrated about the same level of thinking as typical middle schoolers---none. No wonder people ridicule ed majors as having the lowest IQs on campus or foster slogans like "those who can't, teach". Turn your BRAINS on, people.

You know what they collectively said to me? We "didn't hear any complaints about him when we got this great contract,that's better than all the other unions." It took me a full minute to answer. These are all high school teachers and one of them is a chapter leader. I got into a heated debate with all of them simultaneously. They simply believe everything they are spoon fed by the UFT. They question nothing presented to them by the UFT. However, they wanted proof of everything I said. (Some of them thought ATRs were only teachers who came out of the rubberroom and that there were only a couple of hundred of them - no Jia wasn't one of them.) Mulgrew and the UFT is f--king teachers and they don't even know it. Teachers have to be the most naive group of people around - they can recite the Gettysburg Address or a geometry proof, but don't have basic common sense. It's time to WAKE UP.

The union objected and grieved. We won the grievance. But even so all my principal talks about are the lesson plans. At a recent meeting the principal stated the following " To receive an effective rating you have to have these components in a lesson plan." The components were exactly the same ones that the union originally objected to. Namely objectives, high level questions detailed information on what students would be doing and what teachers would be doing, exit questions and summary questions. I asked the union rep about this. This is what he told me. After we won the grievance Michael Mulgrew met with the board of ed and decided that even though we won the grievance, the lesson plan should still contain all the elements that were originally grieved on. Can you imagine that. We win the grievance and Mulgrew still decides screw the union members anyway.

Just because an individual is being groomed as a successor by a present office holder, that certainly does not mean they are qualified for the job. It has always amazed me that teachers have voted in the groomed successor in the UFT rather than using their heads and the most common of common sense. If a shop teacher was having illicit sexual relations with a married woman, would that not be a red flag of his amoral character and poor judgment? Did anyone monitor any of Mildew's other actions (or lack thereof) before putting their X beside his name like a good little Unity lemming? Do retirees immediately lose their sense of solidarity with still-working colleagues and go, like a rising trout, for the money waved in front of them by Unity, heedless of the price paid by still-working colleagues in more onerous hours and conditions?<br /><br />We are fortunate to have alternative choices this election. We are not married to Mildew (thank G-d; he'd probably be cheating on us). We can bring in some fresh talent, someone dedicated to TEACHERS' welfare, not their own and not their own choice of misguided "social justice". I'm not paying dear dues to foster someone else's idea of a social wrong which they feel they must right. I wanna do that, I'll join the social justice cause directly. No, I'm paying dear dues to have ME represented. That's the idea of a union. You certainly don't see any of the "social justice" clowns rising up to defend US, do you? <br /><br />Wake up, lemmings. There's a hill right ahead of you. Those of you who want to tumble to your professional deaths, full steam ahead. Vote for FAILURE and DUPLICITY, vote for Mildew. For those of us who wish to get off THAT merry-go-round, who want to feel like valued professionals again (gee, what's THAT?), vote for Solidarity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
