Plus the DOE OPEN MARKEt gave me this number during the phone closisng interview. <BR/>Going back to the article of WOODLASS, I feel the same as her. I am a sub. who does not know what to expect form one day to the other. In the organization list in my school my name is register as the "FLOATING TEACHER". and believe me I float and chnge my hats from one day to the other. What a big INSULT. I always have to be carry my tennis shoes just in case I have the GYM program -- and there are days that I feel so fed up that even though I have my sneakers in my bag, I tell the AP. that I did not bring it. Because I am tired of being used as an ATR. <BR/>When is this nightmare going to be over? We had the meeting with Randy. What came up from that?? Nothing. Just a pretense of a meeting to cool off the ATRS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132951117640035190.post-10251906013991727242007-12-20T11:51:00.000-05:002007-12-20T11:51:00.000-05:00It was given out at that November meeting for ATRs...It was given out at that November meeting for ATRs. Maybe it was 800. 700 might have been for the rubber room number -- both figures were mentioned, one for the ATRs and one for rubber room. Remember also that there were other ATRs who had already accepted positions by November. Add those figures onto the 7 or 800.<BR/><BR/>RW said that BoE would not give out any figures. Union leadership then asked the CLs to collect the info from their schools. Then notices of that ATR meeting were mailed to the people they learned about from the CLs, and I believe others just showed up. Their names were added to the list at the meeting. <BR/><BR/>All of this is very fuzzy, and I still cannot believe that the UFT computers can't cull this information without asking the CLs to collect it manually.<BR/><BR/>Do I believe either machine anymore?
