However, other factors should be considered, such as: student participation, class quizzes and exams. A classroom teacher should have a real understanding on how much a student has learned. All that should be taken into account.<br /><br />By: Pedro Nicolas PayanoPedro Nicolas Payanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118122169104776391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-83005978059897200002012-04-27T18:33:52.041-04:002012-04-27T18:33:52.041-04:00This greenhorn who hid out in charter schools wher...This greenhorn who hid out in charter schools where the real kids get kicked out never learned how to settle a dispute so he's created a power struggle with BTF and Phil Rumore. Too bad lil John, now you're getting schooled by the master. And nobody in Buffalo is giving an inch so sit there looking like the rookie teacher you are while everyone takes note that you Sir are in waaay over your head. A battle tested Commish would have worked this all out by now and would be working hard with the districts to dump this $32 million contract with Pearson even if they are going to pay for Cuomo's 2016 whitehouse run. As it stands though we have Commissioner Pineapple with egg on his face stuck in no-man's land where his arrogance and ignorance of the basic fundamentals of ed leadership have planted him. Anyone say "No confidence?" Oh I think BTF just did.

Any union that agrees to ignore student attendance must be out of their minds.<br /><br /><br />Leo Casey claims the DOE and the union agreed to a 85-90% student attendance factor. I am not so sure the SED would accept it, even if the DOE agreed with it.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.com
