You sound upset I reminded folks of the three years you spent fund raising for communists here in the US - thanks for reminding us you actually worked on the ground in Nicaragua with the communist Sandinistas. I had forgotten the New York Times wrote about it <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/23/nyregion/a-mayoral-hopeful-now-de-blasio-was-once-a-young-leftist.html" rel="nofollow">here.</a> <br />As our mayor and our school leader you are now demonstrating the same level of intelligence and judgement - with the same prospects for success - as your late 1980's endeavors.<br />Lighten up Bill. All is not lost. You can always resign and legally change your name... for the third (!) time. And the old lefties- in denial their side lost the Cold War - will still defend you.The Veteran NY Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805569561084847792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-2036239601490724012015-09-27T18:26:08.010-04:002015-09-27T18:26:08.010-04:00Veteran Sate Employee 11:22 AM ...

Yes, Shanker - who opened the door to the union/corporate partnerships. Go read the Shanker bio - which is very complimentary - but one of the reasons is that Shanker was so "reasonable" in dealing away teacher rights.

Not the politicians, the students, the media, the public, and many of the new teachers. (Indeed, I believe the new teachers have to become detached to survive.) They will wait out the experienced high salaried ATRs until they retire. The new teachers I talk to only want to teach for a few years until they are called into the police department, fire department or some federal agency. Teaching will become what Arne Duncan wants it to become - a stepping stone for people, a rite of passage for those on their way to a real career that matters. Until teachers get to the point they want to strike and parents get to the point they start protesting, nothing will change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-4557424211610596542015-09-26T20:12:31.628-04:002015-09-26T20:12:31.628-04:00I commend you for this series.

Depending on where you work, student behavior, which has been bad for a long time, has gotten completely out of control. Every school is just about the same. High school students, simply walking aimlessly all day in the halls, hats on, cell phones in use, phone calls, texts, music, show up to school when they want, leave when they want, go to the gym all day to play basketball while cutting other classes, cursing and threatening teachers...No pen, no paper, not ability to read or write on the most basic level...A free for all. This has become accepted. Im tired of,"they are good kids, just need this or that." Yeah, right. 19 years old with 3 credits and 35 arrests. And then they relax the discipline code more and more every year.

Another Tweed big shot, and personal friend of DeBlasio is Sadie Sotomayor. She's got a beautiful position in Tweed at 6 figures. Oh, her husband is a huge power player in 32-BJ. There ya go! The Post hasn't learned about this 6 figure waste. But you have her name Chaz. She's so hidden because of her non experience that you can't even find her on the DOE homepage at Tweed. She's got one year teaching experience in the Bronx. Well, this certainly makes her perfect for a DeBlasio fake position at Tweed. Congrats Sadie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
