I went through the whole grieving process. There’s a a peace in acceptance. Why would I rely on cowards to revive my dead union? Most nyc teachers are cowards who would jump in front of a train if their principal told them to. That’s my view of reality so I use the corrupt system to my advantage as best I can to benefit me. I’m not sticking my neck out for people who refuse to raise a fist no matter how badly they are abused. My principal knows who the weak ones are. They are the ones abused regularly. My principal has no desire to challenge the few in my building who will put up a knock down drag out fight. We’re not worth the trouble when she has so many others to pick on.That’s the doe way. Bullies rule but those willing and able to punch the bully are never bullied. Bully principal or a bully kid, the rule is the same. If you want to stop a bully you’ve got to be willing to roll around on the floor and get some bruises. If you want to bully a person with a backbone, you’ve also got to be willing to roll around and get bruised. I learned this bully lesson as a kid and I’ve applied it throughout my entire career with the doe. The simple rule works every time. Each new principal had to learn who they could and could not fuck with. James has hope that nyc teachers will one day wake up and no longer be cowards. I don’t have that hope. Bravery is a muscle. If you haven’t used it for most of your life it’s atrophied and useless.
