Yeesh, this is my 10th year teaching, and I'm an ATR why would I want a 50,000 buyout when I am making more than that? Ridiculous. Seriously. Add a "0" to that 50 and you will have my attention. Add two "0's" and I will take it. But seriously, the answers seem quite obvious. I totally agree with Bronx ATR. Hire freeze newbies, say, 2 year window, place ATRs and let happen what happens.

Months later he refused to give my UFT rep any more snickers but continued with the coffee.<br /><br />On a different note? Has this ever happened to anyone? I called the union and they said not a big deal. For the 4th time this year my principal takes the worst 25 students and makes me and two other teachers take them out on a school trip. I am talking the worst of the worst. One of the kids is Pete the pyro. He was almost arrested (but students can't get arrested any more) for lighting up a trash can on fire during January Regents. Although he claimed the ass. principal told him to do it to give students more time on the Regents exam and to be able to discuss the regents when they exited the building. Long story.<br /><br />Back to these trips. Whenever a superintendent, quality review or someone from Tweed visits our school - I have to take these 25 kids out of the building for a school trip. I approached the principal and he told me "this is what's best for me and the school." He also gave me 50 dollars for lunch (which was nice). <br /><br />UFT tells me there is nothing I can do but to call out sick. However, one of the APes told me "as long as I am not in the building when visitors come - it is okay to be out sick." I feel like I am being treated as an equal to the worst 25. <br /><br />Any thoughts?Shad C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-40370677383894608682017-06-07T22:06:58.985-04:002017-06-07T22:06:58.985-04:00There is a catch with the severance package which ...There is a catch with the severance package which is you give up the right to sue them.
