Why not decry their rights to due process?<br /><br />Who do you think approves the curriculum that teachers teach? Certainly not the teachers.<br /><br />A close close family member was an administrator. As I was told, it is so easy to give a teacher a U in an observation, or even a year end evaluation. Please sift through this blog to see how many teachers have been U rated for the most frivolous of causes.<br /><br />Do you truly believe that Uncle Mike has the best interests of children? Just look at his hiring of Cathie Black.<br /><br />The single most important cause of whether or not a child succeeds in school are the parents. Would you care to see first hand for yourself some of the lives these children are forced to live in because of their parents?<br /><br />I suggest you stop believing the propaganda out there and start to truly see what is going on out there.Pete Zuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708676684946013529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-76453403009981215342011-02-19T15:04:07.001-05:002011-02-19T15:04:07.001-05:00Nobody in the "real world" - ie your stu...Nobody in the "real world" - ie your studnets parents have tenure. Tenure is sheer lunacy. Gee - you don't want to be evaluated, you get paid to work 185 days a year, and you can't be fired. Who WOULDN'T want that? Just know that we parents know it's wrong and is ANTI-kid, and possibly THE SINGLE CAUSE of ours kids being unemployable in this global world. Sorry guys - keep preaching to the converted, cuz the rest of us know its horsepoop, and are actively working to remove tenure, and declare any teacher who got tenure without meaningful evaluation (which is almost everybody) declared an illegal hire, so we can start all over with this madness that calls itss elf public ed. VOUCHERS, ANYONE? That's what's coming if you guys don't start thinking about the kids first not about your pay packs and bennies and permanent employment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-19899188799241311432011-02-19T14:54:46.027-05:002011-02-19T14:54:46.027-05:00While I do admit that there are many problems rega...While I do admit that there are many problems regarding tenure, I do not think the proposed plan of changing tenure guidelines will be at all beneficial for probationary as well as the current tenured teachers. <br /><br /><br />I admit that there are tenure concerns in urban city school systems that need to be fixed. I think the ed deformers as well as most people in this country are missing the point that a well run school deserves to be run by a competent, organized principal with good intent and professional values.<br />If a teacher (whether it is probationary or tenured) is found to be incompetent by a principal, then its the principal's discretion to take care of the situation in the most professional and uproot way.<br /><br />However, going after teachers to isolate them and set them up failure is inappropriate by any means. No teacher (regardless of competency, age, experience) needs to be subjected to 'arbitrary and capricious conduct' and make them feel in fear of their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
