When it is just teachers they don't listen. These parents at CPE1 were astounding - and relentless. I remember when a few of us first me with some teachers -- some of whom are also parents at the school- and we told them about PEP meetings, which they had never heard of. The went to the very next one with about 20 people and spoke up and at least a few of the parents went to every PEP since then - about 14 months ago. Their presence at Marilyn's hearings won it for her.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-11463938217706064762017-05-16T19:44:26.960-04:002017-05-16T19:44:26.960-04:00Dwarka was praised by the Chancellor the other day...Dwarka was praised by the Chancellor the other day, unreal with the school being completely destroyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-3764279029007483512017-05-16T15:36:07.842-04:002017-05-16T15:36:07.842-04:00Too little, too late.

This situation is truly what you said - extraordinary. Even with the publicity, the DOE refused to act to put a stop to what was going on! In many respects the damage was done. Those teachers went through pure grade D hell. I hope with this that the undoubtedly many more school communities that are similarly suffering, will take heart and begin to fight back. I also hope that our union will not continue to stand idly by while we are continue to come under assault daily.<br /><br />Tuesday, May 16, 2017 9:30:00 AMTeacher Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706933399451854205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-59741657374399587372017-05-16T09:31:41.829-04:002017-05-16T09:31:41.829-04:00Clearly public pressure works but there is a place...Clearly public pressure works but there is a place for the behind the scenes approach.
