Bloomberg remains squarely in office and in power. Cuomo rides at 65% approval despite his complete sellout of the 99%. And Obama - the guy who has decided teacher evaluations tied to test scores, unlimited charter school expansion, merit pay and firing 10% of the teaching workforce every year is the only way to improve public education - is still going (if not strong, he's stronger than the GOP opposition.)<br /><br />Expect worse to come in the short term from these dictators, unless Arab Spring rises up from its birthplace down in Zucotti Park and washes the corporatists away with the dog shit and the street garbage.<br /><br />There's a march tomorrow to help that aslong, for anyone not teaching five periods:<br /><br />Time <br />Tuesday, November 1 ยท 12:00pm - 3:00pm<br />Location <br />Meet at Bryant Park, 5th Avenue and 41st Street<br />More Info <br />Let's tell the #1 politician in the state (Cuomo) to make the 1% pay their fair share! Meet at Zuccotti Park at 11am or at 5th Avenue and 41st Street @ 12pm. We will march from Byrant Park to the Governor's office at 633 Third Avenue between 40th and 41st and let him know he must represent the 99%, not the 1%!reality-based educatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-15775981294561755042011-10-31T20:00:28.813-04:002011-10-31T20:00:28.813-04:00He needs to be impeached before his and his cronie...He needs to be impeached before his and his cronies do anymore damage..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-78034450130816069992011-10-31T19:23:52.603-04:002011-10-31T19:23:52.603-04:00It's kind of amazing they can claim to put &qu...It's kind of amazing they can claim to put "Children First, Always," and cut their resources on such a regular basis. One of the things Bloomberg had to do to get mayoral control was to renounce Giuliani's practice of cutting city aid by precisely whatever state aid would raise it. Who would imagine his fix of constant reductions no matter what, especially with his audacious claims about being an education mayor.<br /><br />History will judge him, but NYC can't really afford to wait until then.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.com
