The mayor wants us to babysit. What a surprise. No concern for teacher or student safety getting to and from school.

With remote an option, why did Union not even think of asking for it? Awful commute and dangerous!

They could have at least suspended alternate side parking and give people a break. The street will get plenty clean with all the water.

For the love of God, the DOE could at least cancel extended day so we can get home safely. But then again, the DOE does not give two shits about teachers.

I am feeling so overwhelmed. I am new to the doe and in my eighth year teaching. I have never been this overwhelmed.
My mental health is suffering. I feel awful everyday. I think this may be a sign that I’m not meant to be a teacher. I just don’t know how I can make it through this year. I feel so broken and defeated. I feel like I’m failing.

Google classroom set up, kids have devices, what Is the issue? With a forecast for a wicked winter, let's hope his successor has more sense.

10:36: It's not you, it's this system. You could be a great teacher anywhere else. One woman doesn't decide who makes an effective teacher. You made it eight years so far. Since you're not vested in the doe yet, my suggestion is to go look for another job. If you are not tied down to NY, there are many states with teaching shortages. You'll get paid less, but the living expenses will equal out.

EVE, if you can manage to teach in nys public schools till year 10, you can be vested I think and have something to take when u move on.
I'm not sure about tier6...it might be a pension or benefits.i only know my tier.if u work outside myself or in private, u get nothing...try changing schools or try elsewhere in nys if u can hang on.

When are you going to realize that you are replaceable? You are not a teacher. You are a babysitter. Parents have to go to work and they can't go to work if they don't have child care.

Eve, the job wasn’t what you expected. You are not alone. The job is designed to overwhelm and defeat you. The NYC DOE is like a dysfunctional alcoholic family. It’s not your fault. Don’t let fear of failure stop you from leaving if this job isn’t for you. Best wishes to you.

Getting home was easier than it has been all year! No rain AND no traffic!

The administration of the DOE is dysfunctional, corrupt and incompetent. They leverage their lack of accountability to scapegoat teachers as their cover up.

Yes snowflakes be careful in the storm. What is this obsession with safetyism? When the shit hits the fan, and that day is approaching, the lefties in cities will be dying in the streets waiting for the government to come save them. Obedient little mask wearers, willingly vaccinated by big pharma as the corporate media tells them to. Pathetic

No, Tier 6 needs 15 years to be vested and get medical at retirement.

4:50: I'm with you. Even the ride in wasn't as bad. I guess the news scared everyone to work at home or take off.

Adams will give you remote, and he might give you the boot too - this guy is going bust the UFT open like a nut and Randi & Mikey will hand him the pliers.....he is gonna be a real nut cracker... just wait and see.. he will get everything Bloomberg wanted w/o the push back.
He has said he wants full time school... eveyone says: oh yeah, how is he going to pay for it????? well, he just said during the debate, he wants all city agencies to give back 3-5% in pay (watch debate on youtube 35 min. mark) ... so he will ask for the paycut, get it.. and then drop fulltime school and big mikey gonna tell you he did you a big favor by getting us back to the salary scale we have now... you all should be begging Mikey to sit down with Big Bill and get your 1% raises over the next 2 years... gonna be the most money you are going see for a while! Hold on, teachers.. you're about to ascend to the top of the Cyclone @ Coney Island... Hopefully, there are still some city workers who live in the city to vote, lol... that's funny!!! Btw, Adams is a DINO... don't get it twisted, but he knows he would never win as a Republican so he played it smart and calls himself a progressive Dem..But don't worry Brad Lander will stick up for you or maybe Tisch James will put Adams in his place??? Nah.

I believe it is three days if you have side effects but read the memo closely for yourself.

THANKS James for quick response

6:38 - are you obsessed with blaming "leftists" for everything? Republicans don't work from home? You sound so ugly and bitter. What do you give a fuck if people decided to get vaccinated? You poor thing, did you lose your job? Hahaha @ lefties dying in the street. You dumb asses went screaming through the State Capitols crying about "seeds and paint" because you couldn't hunker down for a month. Hahaha. Survivalists you are NOT.

Anonymous said...

I don’t know anyone who stormed the Capitol but I have a garden, know how to can food. Learned this and other basic skills from grandma. Many in my family hunt. Never hunted but watched many a deer and some pigs butchered in grandma’s back yard. Helped grandma make cured meats from both animals. I’m not 6:38 but this anti communist certainly has some survival skills. If you get out of cities there are people with actual know how on survival. Keep laughing. We’ll keep preparing…. Just in case.

5 58 it's not you, yet you came running like a dog to a whistle. Its not all about you little snowflake. Yeah..i will laugh about fake survivalists crying about seeds and paint after a month.

Anonymous said...

If it makes you feel good to call me a dog responding to a whistle, keep it up. No skin off my nose. I don’t know any fake survivalists but know plenty of people who can hunt, fish, forage, garden and farm. I don’t need your permission to comment. You sound like one of those beta males that can’t do anything useful and always wonders why he’s always dominated by his female purple haired boss. - Love, your favorite Little Snowflake. 😍

Its amazing I lasted twenty years so far in this mess. So maybee the norm will be to give back money for our contracts. We are not giving anything back. We are just not going to get anything. In my building Im starting to see the new teachers get tired of all this. Their great teachers but they have limitations too. You cant sustained the amount of work these principals give over the year. I was so glad to be an atr for ten years out of twenty. Didnt have the stress the classroom teacher had but now that im in the school for good I see it. My lessons come first and everything else takes a back seat.

I know in my school we get at least 50 emails a day and I"m not kidding. Also we get document after document and we have so many committees they actually have a committee as the head of committees. We are all just spreading ourselves so thin, that we can't focus on everything.

12:28 - Nice little rant to show there was no skin off your nose. Lol. You sound like a nut. You can't even survive the DOE children, much less the wild. You sound like one of those little snowflakes who keeps your nose up your admin's ass for protection, still pretending to be something you're not. Oh yeah, that's a sign of bravery. LOL.

Anonymous said...

12:28 here comes the resident narcissist believing she's someone favorite again and trying to make it all about her. Sorry little snowflake but Alphas dont keep their heads up their AP's asses pretending to be someone else just to try and appease them. Whoever you think you know from your looney right wing blogs we all saw Republicans peeing their pants over seeds and paint. ROFLMAO. You're too stupid to look anything up. You're stuck on stupid and you like it there.

Anonymous said...

I’m conning the shit out of my woke AP by repeating all the nonsense that msnbc and other woke losers say and by teaching what she wants me to teach in a way she wants me to teach. None of it violates doe policy. In return, I receive highly effective and effective ratings and other perks. If that’s ass kissing, I’m an ass kisser. You are angry because a conservative can so easily fool the woke doe. I get it. I’m making a mockery of your leftist ideology so you’re pissed. It only makes my con job that much sweeter to know that. Keep getting your undies in bunch over my comments. I’m not going away. Seeds and paint. You sound ridiculous.

Anonymous said...

You're a joke. Youre committing larceny amd ate a fraud. Nice try claiming you teach anything when you've said you dont teach at all. But not angry, just calling you out for the cowatdly, low-life lying fraud that you admit you are. You're the idiot whose trggered by my every word. Every conservation I have you come running like a chihuahua in heat you dumb fuck. "Yip, yip, look at me, look at me".

Yeah, seeds and paint you dummy. Just something else you know nothing about, like er, everything else. But you think you're fooling Admin because theyve got you scurrying around doing their dirty work, passing failing kids, teaching what they want, and repeating what they say that a lame parrot. Hahahaha. You're so ridiculous you think you have the upper hand when they have you under their thumb. But oooh, they call you girl so that's whats important. You never tire of embarrassing yourself. You're a narcissist so you think your pathetic ramblings are impressive. What a clown.
