Re: "SEE...___________________________________<br /><br />Re: "SEE YA KID" & SAYING GOOD-BYE<br />___________________________________<br /><br />Bravo to South Bronx School for a very insightful and quite touching Christmas Day essay.<br /><br />I write this comment from a small village near the border between Belgium and Holland. <br /><br />Even being so far from New York cannot prevent or knumb the brain from recalling the institutional havoc and gargantuan human misery Joel Klein, Esq., NY's Faux Schools Chancellor by Special Waiver, has visited on one million innocent children, their parents and one hundred thousand hard working, dedicated teachers.<br /><br />How ironic to think that had Michael Bloomberg never decided to purchase the Office of the Mayor of NYC, then a former Federal Prosecutor who knows zero about the field of Education would never have been appointed to a position he is so clearly NOT QUALIFIED for from any and every point of view.<br /><br />How sad that for lifetime career educators like myself, no matter where we go in the world, even for a brief respite from the NYC DOE, it is never far enough to escape the awareness that such sorry excuses for human beings as Joel Klein, resides among us.<br /><br />The young child who was so horribly cheated by the NYC DOE, so movingly and memorably described by South Bronx Teacher, reminds every NYC public school teacher of the thousands of children they also have encountered in their careers. Children who were and still are, being cheated of their futures and simple human dignity on the chessboard of the pompous power mad charlatans who treat all those who have spent their lives in Education as if they were only their personal pawns. <br /><br />Those of us who have dedicated ten, twenty, thirty, forty and more years of our lives trying to level the playing field for all of New York City's mostly, at risk, inner city children know all too well what South Bronx School is speaking of when talking about biding farewell to a child who has become a permanent part of our lives.<br /><br />Surely no New Yorker will feel any regret when our egotistical Mayor and "Legend in his own mind" faux, uncredentialed schools Chancellor are consigned to the scrap heap of New York City's history.<br />__________________________________DAVID PAKTERhttp://www.oldmasterportraits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-84789088237704923572009-12-27T09:30:07.997-05:002009-12-27T09:30:07.997-05:00Not only that but telling him to call you can lead...Not only that but telling him to call you can lead to an SCI investigation and charges of inappropriate conduct.
