The statements come from a Jew with political, cultural, and spiritual awareness. <br /><br />We need more of them now. As we can see with many of those running the deformer league, they ain't what they used to be.<br /><br />L'ChayimMadame La Fargenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-32630794047997727452011-06-07T15:55:30.210-04:002011-06-07T15:55:30.210-04:00"The only reason any PARENT wants to break th..."The only reason any PARENT wants to break the education unions is because the unions are breaking our children."<br /><br />The unions are most definitely not breaking our children. The unions are there to support teachers and the children. I may not agree to some of the decisions or the leadership with the unions. <br />If the children are being put last, do not blame the unions but blame the bureaucrats. <br /><br />While I do agree that reforms need to be made, ending tenure, ending seniority and implementing teacher evaluations that tie 40% of the student test scores to teacher data reports are not supportive <br />but damaging to all. Just wait and see, this new upcoming evaluation system will not work and it will probably 20 years to undo the damages. <br /><br />I do agree that there needs to be investigations in regards to the "vendors" and how much money they take out of the system which could be used to hire more teachers.<br /><br />Right now, the school system is not putting the children first always, but putting the children last. Money is being wasted on useless tests, Acuity that no one uses and technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-75972792527811795592011-06-06T00:15:45.901-04:002011-06-06T00:15:45.901-04:001.

It is CHUTZPAH and anti-Jewish to start claiming who needs to get in touch with their "Jewish roots" and YOU are certainly not the one who has ANY portfolio to make such a borderline anti-semitic call... <br />2. The only reason any PARENT wants to break the education unions is because the unions are breaking our children. YOU guys have made this an us vs them battle. What's weird is that teachers and parents should be allied in fighting the companies that take the big money - ie school construction companies, textbook publishers, other vendors who - just like the teachers unions - have fought against any standard of evaluation. And without eval, we can't progress. WE live in a "educate or incarcerate" world. HOW DO YOU GUYS SLEEP AT NIGHT SENDING GENERATION AFTER GENERATION OF KIDS TO PRISON? Literally.<br />SOLUTION: 1. End tenure. 2. End SEniority - it's only age-discrimination 3. End "due process for incompetent teachers 4. Have the DA investigate the "vendors" and how much money they take out of the system which could be used to hire more teachers. 5. PUT KIDS FIRST, NOT THE UNION OR ANY OTHER GROWN UPS. Otherwise, shut up.<br />Bill GrundfestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-73023071300585321172011-06-05T21:23:57.590-04:002011-06-05T21:23:57.590-04:00Who said this guy should be compared with the grea...Who said this guy should be compared with the greats like Moses? People who want to break the unions belong in other bibilical stories. Cane and Abel anyone? Abraham and Issac? And for all you Christians reading along, the story of Judas closely resembles this E4E organization. I just don't see the sense in selling one another out, which is what E4E is all about.abused teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558418463522706345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-35647746594740751592011-06-05T18:24:43.010-04:002011-06-05T18:24:43.010-04:00How can I be anti-Semitic?

The instant someone stops trying to win an argument with merit, but starts USING JEWS in this borderline anti-semitic way, you can see that they KNOW their argument has ZERO MERIT. Don't use Jews, and don't have the balls and spinelessness to say that because somebody disagrees with you he's a "bad Jew." How ignorant. Do yourself a favor, and stick to the merits or shut the F up.<br />Bill GrundfestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-88139028344389433532011-06-04T21:52:19.496-04:002011-06-04T21:52:19.496-04:00"I'm probably going to catch a lot of fla..."I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak for the title of this posting as well as its content"<br /><br />No!
