Most experienced teachers haven't lost their idealism. They had it supressed by the policians who try to make a name from 'education reform', including our current mayor, and the opportunists who become educational leaders at the behest of those politicians.<br />The real 'educators for excellence' are the teachers who return year after year despite the political nonsense because they love teaching and children. This group seems to discard those educators in favor of those with very little experience, and it appears that many of these 'educators' never planned to stick around. It is all career and politics with those interlopers. People who don't love teaching and want out of classrooms aren't educators, they are carpetbaggers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-89679953790949917992011-10-03T09:41:19.796-04:002011-10-03T09:41:19.796-04:00Jarell

If any of you would like to know my actual thoughts and beliefs, I would be happy to engage in a respectful discussion with you over lunch or a quick snack. I ask that you do not make insulting comments about me.<br /><br />I was not misquoted by E4E or NBC. In fact, my comment was paraphrased by both organizations. I urge you all to review my full comment, included here (34:20 - 35:37):<br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/vp/44661834#44661834<br /><br />Also, it pains me to see my comment being discredited because of my youth in the profession and the claim that my optimism will fade once I realize the realities of teaching. In any other field, this same optimism is welcomed, but I feel that the mindset represented in this post and these comments stifles and suffocated innovation and progress. I can assure my beliefs about poverty will not change, as I have lived in these same environments. Feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further.<br /><br />-JarellJarellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-42355828936909280082011-10-02T11:10:50.681-04:002011-10-02T11:10:50.681-04:00Jarel:

E4e will use anyone to attain their goal and that's to replace every public school with a charter. It is happening every day and the union and teachers are letting it happen. The neighborhood school will be a thing of the past. Corporations will run the schools and teachers will work for three or four years and then be forced out to do something else. All I hear everyday is how many senior teachers are leaving the system because they're being forced out of their jobs By the new rules.<br />Deformers are here and need to be confronted before it's too late. Bill Gates and his money have created e4e to do his dirty work and they will use anyone or anything to make the agenda work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-71295315196345861702011-10-02T00:23:23.119-04:002011-10-02T00:23:23.119-04:00It sounds like E4E is trying to rewrite history.

There have always been exceptional schools doing a good job in the face of poverty but they are exceptions. In the 1970s Ron Edmonds created our first school improvement program by studying those successful inner city schools and identified the factors that helped them to succeed. We should be doing the same, and a great deal of Edmonds' work is still relevant and available.<br />Poverty has always been the enemy in education, never an excuse.I wonder if the supporters of this E4E are part of the crowd who are trying to distort the horrible impact of increasing poverty in our nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-61392566722409772302011-10-01T23:52:44.347-04:002011-10-01T23:52:44.347-04:00If this organization really has more than 1,000 me...If this organization really has more than 1,000 members, where are all the experienced and fully formed teachers? All of us had an agenda after a year or two of teaching, but we had a much more complete and informed agenda after 10, 20 or 30 years of experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
