It is like screaming at a wall. Cuomo is set in his ways. The new evaluation law is his baby and he is not letting the NYSUT get near the cradle. But wait! NYSUT endorsed Hillary for President. I sure as heck did not get asked about my opinion on that. Magee and her crew seem to know the jig is up. At this point, they are just praying that enough teachers decide to keep paying dues to keep the state union afloat. However, as much as I despise much of what my union has done over the past 10 years, I will NOT quit nor will I stop paying dues. I just wish somebody with some stones would run the show. Magee and company have not really shown us much lately.

Our new evaluation law is set in stone and shows no sign of being repealed. Furthermore, the looming Supreme Court case in California is about to drop the proverbial hammer on our heads causing real problems for local and state teacher unions alike. But, as mentioned, there really is nothing that can be done to help in these regards.
