Most of the teachers that I come across treat me with respect. They realize it wasnt my fault I became an atr. I play the game the best way I know how. I say yes to alot of things and stay under the radar. I dont give a shit what anyone thinks of me because I know who Iam. I have six years left and I know Im still a good teacher. When I am asked to help students I give it my 100percent because they are all that matters to me. I give them my respect and my knowledge and if its only for a brief moment it brings happiness to me. I may never have a classroom again or be in a school long enough to know teachers.I wont have a retirement party or gifts that show appreciation. But one thing is for sure. One thing those bloodsuckers at the doe cant take from me is my pride. I gave it my all to the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-73211555181070322662020-11-20T06:02:15.259-05:002020-11-20T06:02:15.259-05:00Although I've always treated ATRs assigned to ...Although I've always treated ATRs assigned to my school as true colleagues, I don't expect them to care what I think of them.

I don't trust the numbers at all. Also, do you trust the city and the schools in reporting and doing contact tracing. I've heard of many schools where classrooms are locked with a do not enter sign and teachers not being told of positive tests. There was that school in Brooklyn where the teachers weren't contacted until 10 days after a kid tested positive, so don't trust that 3 percent.

However, schools should not be closed. 3% is an arbitrary number with no real science or data to back that claim.<br /><br />CDC says 5% is recommended for school closures which makes more sense. This is a major disservice to our students.

I could care less if a bunch of 25 year olds think I’m not a ‘real educator.’ They will be out of the profession by the time they are thirty. <br /><br />This is the doe. It should be called the DOBS. Department of BS. It’s a racket, a hypocrisy and we are all a part of it whether we like it or not. <br /><br />Our job is to stay out of harm’s way aka 3020. <br /><br />I’m in my mid 40’s. I have a mortgage and bills. I need the income and my job is to get to 55 and retire. <br /><br />In conclusion, I’ll repeat and reiterate that if a few real teachers want to not wish me happy holidays, that’s okAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-51857605228538462212020-11-19T09:06:35.651-05:002020-11-19T09:06:35.651-05:00I agree with all your reasoning, but still do you ...I agree with all your reasoning, but still do you still really feel like a teacher just covering classes and not having your own classes and roaming from school to school each year and teachers looking down on you.

They have a way to tell staff members,”do what you’re told or you will be an ATR!” This threat works. Principals excess those they don’t like or who don’t fit in. <br /><br />The doe has so much money to burn(yes, even in a pandemic they like to waste money) and principals get a veteran teacher to cover classes for free. Central picks up the tab. <br /><br />As an ATR, I don’t want to go back to being a real teacher. Why would I? The stress is ridiculous and as an ATR, as long as I show up and present myself dressed in a neat way and as a yes man, principals don’t bother me. One principal hates me and she requested never to have me back. The rest like me. Not a bad gig ! <br /><br />And guess what? The doe will still hire a ton of new teachers every yearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-16315617849387961732020-11-19T00:04:42.566-05:002020-11-19T00:04:42.566-05:007:59 - Agreed it is a giant waste of money.

Plus many are leaving Friday for their Thanksgiving plans so why spend the money on 3 days of historically low attendance.

I guess this was the inevitable result of the deal he struck with the big dummy. From the “robust” bullshit testing regime and the non existent contact tracing to the “safe” school reopening, this was an abortion. Unity went along for the increased dues revenue and the non compensation for the stolen Easter break. This was far worse than the March debacle when the pricks in the United to fuck teachers knew that they were sending members in to die. Worse because they came up with utter bullshit. The union insisted on sending us to babysit and told us we would have a safe reopening. Magical thinking or merely treacherous cretins? We don’t have a union we have a dues harvesting operation. The terms of the contract are only enforced by the doe. We are the sheep that are fleeced before being sent in to be slaughtered. Lies about the arbitration when the retro was bargained away long before ,we were treated to mildew and his terrible acting on you tube.<br />At least Randi would attempt to act, although her acting sucks.
