I me...I admire that you prescribe integrity James. I mean what teacher who came into this profession to educate wouldn't prescribe integrity? But you should know more than others the consequences integrity brings with it in this system. It brings closed schools, it brings ruined careers, it creates titles for teachers that never existed 10 years ago (ATRs) as well as a myriad of other issues both health wise to many teachers who face the "chopping block" for being ethical as well as hits to the overall perception of the teaching profession. The diploma factory mill needs to exist in today's America because as a whole there are not enough James Eternos and other brave teachers and individuals who will fight to make a difference. The problem is too large in this United States of Entertainment. As I said earlier, the "balls" of this nation on a grand scale are no longer enlivened and to be honest, I believe much of the hard working individuals who work in our system actually do care about the students and give it their "all" but in the end leave work to go home, take care of their own children and lives and try to escape for the night many of the issues they see in their own schools before going back in for another day's hard work. And who really is to blame anyone who works in the system for having that attitude when the elites who are selected to lead, who also know the truth about the system could give a rat's ass about it.

The fact remains, or should I say the dirty secret that the overwhelming majority of New York City high school teachers know that the vast majority of the public does not know is the following: If the City as well as other inner cities across the nation held to real standards, we would literally have tens upon tens of thousands of 30 year olds who never made it past 8th grade. Please, the number would be in the hundreds of thousands. Everyone who is in our business knows it. Nothing is going to be done about it because it is too shameful a fact to admit and too immense a challenge to tackle. This country had neither the patience or the "balls" to do anything about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
