He has NO shame in trying to being a disgusting individual. Tries to strong arm teachers into doing what he feels is appropriate when one size shoe doesn’t fit ALL. His entire school needs to be closed, not just the middle school. This transfer school crap is garbage. When are these clowns in BK going to realize that public education sucks! Budget cuts, inept administration ever mind racists like those in the old Herman Ritter bldg on the third flr are a big problem in this system. It is always the teachers fault but not from where I am standing. Once big schools like Taft were dissolved, education lost all its morale. Many staff members here and other places are just so disgruntled. New teachers are faced with unsurmountable tasks of acclimateing into this job. Then w/limited assistance they are thrown into the wolves and left for the kill w/demeaning observations. Did admins like Waslawski and other APs give some guidance....NO! When does this circus of promoting kids who can’t read, write and speak properly end. That’s the claim and the evidence is no work but psh&pass.

His social skills are minimal to begin with, but to make matters ever worse he is a LIAR with NO HONOR and NO INTEGRITY. Even just thinking about him makes my skin crawl. I hope karma catches up with him and gives him what he deserves by explosing what an incompetent disgusting person he is through and through. Ick.

Yet in the inner city, Principals like James Waslaski are allowed to continue. Principals like this are part of the Bloomberg plan. Bloomberg touts his own educational success for political purposes, but he seems to be committed to making Latino and Black students who are poor part of a new permanent underclass in New York City. For most of these 999 students and their families there is no hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-8899263313006834462012-02-02T23:38:37.435-05:002012-02-02T23:38:37.435-05:00I don't want to take the discussion in an unus...I don't want to take the discussion in an unusual direction, but I am an attorney who sees something in this situation. When public positions are filled by committee, participants must sign a confidentiality and impartiality agreement. If this Principal signs that statement after his public declarations, he could be prosecuted for perjury. Applicants could also sue the Department of Education for their shoddy supervision of this process. In theory, parents and parent advocates could also sue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-4332268565669776562012-02-02T16:18:59.429-05:002012-02-02T16:18:59.429-05:00That report is very concerning as someone who is a...That report is very concerning as someone who is a concerned with the public school system.<br /><br />The report says he is not training teachers, moving teachers around every year and failing to lead the school properly.<br /><br />What is the DOE waiting for? It seems like they're ignoring the bad schools and focusing on teachers who are "ineffective" I haven't read a report that damning in a long time.<br /><br />Who is in charge of this district and what are they doing about this situation? <br /><br />It's been several years based on the reports in this article and Mr. Waslawski is still in charge. Is everyone asleep behind the wheel?<br /><br />For the person with the pro-Waslawski/disgruntled teacher theory, did you read the report? It basically says he isn't help the teachers at all. <br /><br />If Mr. Waslawski rated a teacher as poorly as he was rated in this report, that teacher would be fired.<br /><br />This reeks of DOE negligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-51315947940286599292012-02-01T23:57:41.053-05:002012-02-01T23:57:41.053-05:00This wouldn't be allowed where Bloomberg lives...This wouldn't be allowed where Bloomberg lives, or the West Side or in Brooklyn Heights.

Here is a failing school with a report that tells us that the Principal doesn't know the meaning of words like cooperation and trust, and it looks like he is being allowed to run the school into the ground with more of the same. What the hell does that have to do with a disgruntled teacher? <br />Before I saw that inane comment I just wanted to say that I did a little research and found that James Waslawski was selected for the Regents Task Force on Teacher Assessment. Doesn't Bloomberg have any successful stooges who can serve as puppets on that task force?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-71982200301944703212012-02-01T23:37:30.800-05:002012-02-01T23:37:30.800-05:00GO GIANTS!!!!GO GIANTS!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-75048106731409935352012-02-01T21:54:25.732-05:002012-02-01T21:54:25.732-05:00How about this sounds like a disgruntled teacher, ...How about this sounds like a disgruntled teacher, that should probably work on getting a satisfactory rating instead of pointing the fingers elsewhere!

If you get a Principal who refuses to work with staff and parents, he may punish anyone who doesn't fit his mold and be his puppet with a 'U' rating. I saw in the report that that the school has low staff turnover. Those teachers must be very dedicated. Let's hope they survive the crisis created by this despot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-1697460638383799722012-01-31T23:30:52.358-05:002012-01-31T23:30:52.358-05:00Sounds like a real Bloomberg setup.

Ignore reports, let the mentally challenged Principal continue to do as he pleases, close the school, throw dozens of dedicated teachers into the ATR pool, then blame teachers for the school's failure.
