That is why I posted nonsense and didn’t do any work that week. Make the doe work for you, not the other way around. Also, live teaching was not a requirement, so I did no live lessons that week. I had a great 2020 spring break after I posted nonsense work. Oh, nobody did the work either.

Having said that, maybe a month into the Monday PDs I was wishing for extended day back. <br /><br />To be able to get out of work around 3 pm on mondays as opposed to 3:55ish will let me be able to get a workout in and not get home around 6 pm on mondays. Traffic on Monday is usually not bad if I can hustle to leave around 3 pm. <br /><br />Wednesday and Thursday traffic suck no matter what. But, I will take the 255-3 pm end of the day over the Monday Pd and Tuesday twiddling my thumbs sessions. <br /><br />Remember, the UFT and doe can always make it worse for us. The Monday PDs was a prime example.

Parents where I work do not understand that 2:20pm school is over and they need to be there on time to pick up their children. There is no excuse to be late day after day. Teachers get stuck staying because there are not enough aids or the aids are late 3 admins none can make it to auditorium on time. <br /><br />Now with covid restrictions-I doubt the children can be all in the auditorium at dismissal-so elemenentary teachers will continue to get stuck dismissing students past there scheduled work time.<br /><br />What needs to happen is dismissal should be 10 min earlier so that 10 minutes is left for teachers to wait with children of late parents.

Things can change, but that is what principals were told. <br /><br />My question is if you are at a school you enjoy like I am, why would you seek out a school with a vacancy? I’m predicting new programs that hire new teachers or charter school teachers transitioning to the doe. <br /><br />September will bring in a lot of new staff.

Why not ask for a 10% TDA return? They made 30% ! But the city and Mulgrew are crying poverty, saying that the retirees have to give up they Medicare choice and take the inferior plan. One of the UFT Bozos explained that Fair Student Funding couldn’t be fought because the UFT had no say so concerning accounting programs. The UFT has no say so about almost everything, i.e. air circulation, admin qualifications, class size, etc - but the subject can be broached and actively fought. If, and only if, the UFT feels the pressure to do so. With fair student funding there was no pressure, because the UFT received dues from new hirees, as well as from the veterans thrown into the ATR pool. But with Mondays and Tuesdays - it costs the Uft nothing to attempt to broach the subject and fight it. But they will not attempt it, unless there are lots and lots of complaints, as this pertinent cliche is one of the UFT’s least favorite - the squeaky wheel gets the oil. The Uft has become an extremely lazy and complacent entity. When you have a concierge answering service and tiers of advocates to re-explain to at each juncture to get the right person, understand this is to thwart you before you can through to the right person.
