If you can't stand up to your bully you can walk away. You shouldn't take it out on children. Lastly. You think empathy is warranted to teachers who are using a broken system to dupe children? waitingforsupporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390407586885648546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-46592565962572503292021-07-31T06:33:17.237-04:002021-07-31T06:33:17.237-04:00Why hate on teachers that use a broken system to t...Why hate on teachers that use a broken system to their advantage.

Much of that aid will go to schools, with some states deciding to pay their teachers and other school staff a "thank you" bonus of up to $1,000. The states participating are Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Texas and California. It's likely other states will approve similar funds in the future, as they have until 2024 to spend the funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-89035867294840744212021-07-30T12:47:15.461-04:002021-07-30T12:47:15.461-04:00Yes, What they are going to say is these are class...Yes, What they are going to say is these are classroom caps when it is feasible.

If the city council legislature is written in a solid format, it would have to be enforced even if the mayor does not want it. A class size change via a new contract will NEVER HAPPEN. The mayor pulls the strings in the DOE and he would never agree to it. Support the city council as this is the only way to get class sizes reduced. (However, I do agree that it will take a long time for this to happen and actually be in effect. 3 years is a pipe dream to get class sizes down) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1459189048315068052021-07-30T09:52:14.802-04:002021-07-30T09:52:14.802-04:00That is exactly how it will go downThat is exactly how it will go downunknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474680542935614007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-10307710674662237272021-07-30T08:47:24.997-04:002021-07-30T08:47:24.997-04:00I have little faith that this will be enforced.

They will say, "well, your contract says you can have 34 students in class. The 21 is just if it's possible."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
