These are excellent points! How is it that these newspapers don't know about this. We need to send these ICE articles to newspapers and NEWYORK 1. Only we can fight for our own protection.

Politically they have made the decision to show the union is active in pruning the "bad" stock. They're letting this rubber room situation run its course, and the good teachers — heck, even the average teachers — getting caught up in this mess are just collateral. <br /><br />To remember: <br />Except for a few real crimes, the criteria for being sent to a rubber room are neither written in stone or in law. There are way more of the exact same kinds of teachers — the good, average, and less talented ones — committing the same kinds of things and much worse ones in all NYC classrooms. It often just depends on the personality or goals of the administrator/s who send them over to the RR.<br /><br />UFT management's persistent willingness to go along with this immoral system is proof-positive that they are collaborating.Under Assaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222267229529062957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132951117640035190.post-59624771460249518252009-05-02T09:44:00.000-04:002009-05-02T09:44:00.000-04:00There is, as Chaz noted, no disadvantage for a bui...There is, as Chaz noted, no disadvantage for a building principal to bring these false charges. There is further no consequence for a principal's later "deliberate misrepresentations of material facts under oath (aka perjury)" during a hearing because there are no UFT (NYSUT)investigators to follow up. On both of these fronts principals can, without consequence, engage in serious misconduct.<br />I suggest, as others have, that UFT hire a few ex-detectives (at 100K each) of their own to follow up on the most egregious principals and the most egregious perjury. After a few principals are caught, the others will learn their lessonThe Veteran NY Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805569561084847792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132951117640035190.post-5171524582775984092009-05-01T16:00:00.000-04:002009-05-01T16:00:00.000-04:00How MANY ADMINISTRATORS WERE BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES...How MANY ADMINISTRATORS WERE BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES FOR KNOWINGLY MAKING A FALSE ACCUSATION AGAINST A TEACHER?

My favorite was the "class size victory" they plastered on the front of NY Teacher. If you bothered to read the article, you saw there were no consequences if the city failed to actually manage any reduction, and of course it did not.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.com
