Most of the ideas expressed here also prove that it is difficult to overestimate the role of a good teacher in the classroom. I speak about real teachers who have wrote their thesis (check this <a href="http://www.helponessay.com/" rel="nofollow">thesis help online</a> if you only plan your career) and feel that it is their mission. As I have noticed such specialists don`t pay attention at all these difficulties, hey just do what they love and make hundreds of young people happier.Most Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297062787933552352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-75585459086146686932014-08-19T04:26:35.241-04:002014-08-19T04:26:35.241-04:008:36

I am awaiting my placement. Is there a problem with my teaching skills set? No, there is a problem with my personality. I speak up when confronted with the ridiculous demands placed upon me. Last year, as an ESL certified teacher, I was asked to assist in the teaching of Math and Science. I have three credits in Math and eight credits in Science. I was also told not to use district mandated ESL materials because they were not Common Core aligned. I fought for my students and myself. <br /><br />At the end of the year, a parent who could not speak one word of English came in and thanked me for teaching his son. The principal, however, did not view me as "a good fit."<br /><br />I would like to hear from you in a few years when you gain a little maturity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-60927042562762133222014-08-15T16:44:15.061-04:002014-08-15T16:44:15.061-04:00Not a surprise.

I work at a very large low income Queens HS ( there are maybe 5 large low income HS') that us a high needs school. Put of our 20 teacher special education department. 5 have left at the end of last year. They have not advertised and have not interviewed for even one if these positions yet!!! I was told by the principal that the DOE has not given the funds to hire teachers so they can't do it. This is not a funding or excessing issue, these 5 special Ed teachers had full programs!!! So there are 25 special education classes that need teachers!!! (5x5) not an excessing or budget issue. These need to be filled. Now it is we'll after open market, they have to hire whoever is left . They will then not succeed in our school and the process will begin again next year!!!

The inaction on the part of the union over in this matter indicates that they are complicit in setting the ATR's up for failure. What is downright unethical is that we pay union dues and the UFT instead of helping us secure a regularly appointed position is trying to making it much easier to fire us.

Perhaps it can? I certainly hope so. Why hasn't anyone done so? The ATR fiasco has been going on for many years, I would think someone would have tried by now. Full steam ahead? We don't have a train on the tracks. There needs to be a conductor - we have plenty of passengers. One of the organizations that want to lead the union should take the lead, organize and file suit.
