LET’S DO THE MATH
The fact-finding report has been widely reported as providing us with an 11% increase in pay. When the actual numbers are crunched, however, we end up losing, in secondary schools, over 20% in real wages.(Elementary teachers lose slightly less). This is not a “time for money” swap. This is “legal robbery.”
Let’s Do The Math....
For Principal Controlled Time:
Currently
Five 42 minute average periods = 210 minutes per day
PD (Daily Average - 60 minutes divided by 5) = 12 minutes per day
Total 222 minutes per day
Fact-finding
Five 41 minute periods + 1 (loss of self-directed
prof. period) = 246 minutes per day
Small Group Instruction = 30 minutes per day
Additional coverages and loss of 3 days vacation
(1520 minutes divided by 190 school days,
the highest no. of days in Metro area) = 8 minutes per day
Faculty and Department conferences (80 mins
X 16 divided by 190) 6.7 minutes per day
290.7 minutes per day
Net increase is 68.7 minutes per day or 31 %!
The proposal is for 11% leaving a net pay cut of 20 %!

interesting...and sad!
by the way, Edwize.org has been downf or a couple of hours now. I wonder if it is down permanently....
Will the teachers accept it or will they rebel? If they are smart, they will rebel.
You guys need to turn on word verification to get rid of the spam.
I am absolutely disgusted that the executive board of the UFT voted to accept this abomination as the basis for a contract.
We are better off with nothing.
