Teachers are not happy with their working conditions. Here is some poll data to support this conclusion. The AFT uses Hart Research which is a respected polling company. When roughly 4 out of 5 teachers are dissatisfied, something needs to be done. How about lowering class size for a start?
Basically went back where it had been. Lots were satisfied during covid because they were remote and were getting a paychheck.
ReplyDeleteAnd busting our asses! I worked remoted and I have NEVER worked so hard in my life! It was really intense!
ReplyDeleteMeans nothing. Now what? Nothing.
ReplyDeleteReally... They needed a poll to figure that out???
ReplyDeleteI agree, pols are meaningless.
ReplyDeleteThe AFT has weingarten as a leader. You think she cares? Remember, we have crappy conditions mainly bc of her 2005 contract that she sold us.
ReplyDeleteMulgrew is bad, but weingarten was horrendous.
It's been horrible ever since Bloomberg was mayor. We still have to deal with his crap to this day.
ReplyDeleteTeacher dissatisfaction is mostly due to the UFT and AFT under Mulgrew
ReplyDeleteand Weingarten. Their crappy contracts, their selling us out with Danielson observations and their contempt for rank and file members has
made teaching a job from hell.
If Weingarten actually did her job of standing up for teachers instead of her self promotion, teachers would have job satisfaction.
Maybe she is pro-charter/privatization and anti-public school.
Weingarten was chummy with Bloomberg.
Remember the newspaper photographs of Weingarten and Bloomberg.
Weingarten is one of the most disgusting phonies of our generation.
She is a narcissistic, self centered traitor.
Randi is too busy tweeting all day about the great dem leadership and how bad DeSantis and Trump are… But you guys keep lauding this union…
DeleteWe don’t still have to deal with Bloomberg’s crap. It’s no longer his crap. He gave it to DeBlasio who refused to flush it. Then the crap was passed off to Adams. Is Adams going to flush the crap? If not, it’s all his crap now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this all important article. This proves the uft is not doing the job they are paid to do. This proves we aren't teaching, students aren't learning, and we are babysitters...As long as you don't treat the fake grad rate as gospel.
ReplyDelete1:51. Not everyone was busting their ass. That’s why teachers were most satisfied when school buildings were closed. No one says they’re satisfied if their job just got more difficult. If you care about kids keep schools open with a remote option decided by parents and don’t force mask.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the specifics of the poll (which I cannot access) considers grade levels, I would love to see that poll broken down by years on the job as well. In other words, satisfaction through the recent years for rookies, established teachers, veterans, and those on the verge of retirement.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you think that would vary or would it be irrelevant?
Regards to all.
I’ll say one thing, very, very few teachers will be available to teach in the next 5 to 10 years. The colleges have very few students who hate themselves enough to join their education programs in hopes of becoming a teacher. We’re going to see a major decrease in the teacher requirements over the next few years. They will make teaching just script reading and babysitting for slightly more than minimum wage. Perhaps, they will even farm it out to private prison inmates who have been incarcerated for non-sexual offenses. Weingarten and Mulgrew will easily transition into their roles as wardens for their new constituencies at even higher monetary rewards. The only thing that may save the teaching profession is if we have a major depression, where people are extremely desperate and on the verge of starving.
ReplyDeleteI read in Diane Ravitch's blog that Idaho did away with teacher certification exams and requirements. Basically all you need to teach in Idaho is a 4 year college degree and fingerprints.
ReplyDeleteMy experience as an old timer…. Young teachers come in thinking they can save the world and all the new fangled techniques will be successful. Many are arrogant. By spring of their first year I find them crying in the bathroom. They are humbled so forgiving veteran teachers help them. Others look on them with contempt just the way the new teachers looked at them in Sept. Karma for some. Mercy for some. Thems the breaks.
ReplyDeleteOT:
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed copays are going up? I am a working teacher, so this isn’t a retiree issue. I just got some Emblem Health Summary forms and copay column is ridiculously high.
I would not recommend this job to anyone. Randi Weingarten does not teach. Has no idea how toxic this job has become. Its time to change this. Make the union heads teach.
ReplyDelete11:27 that's just ridiculous.
ReplyDelete6:16 Randi has tweeted no such thing, certainly not on a daily basis. Trump is irrelevant and becoming more so every day. If he doesn't get arrested he should kiss the ground he walks on.
ReplyDelete12:46: Yes that is because young people get a distorted view of what teachers are like. When you are behind the desk as a student, you only see the good and a little bit of the bad, but you don't see the ugly. Also the media glamorizes teaching. We see all these movies about teachers that were able to reach students like Music of the Heart, Dangerous Minds, Freedom Writers, Stand and Deliver. Also shows like Abbott Elementary also make teaching look like fun. Do you ever see the teachers there dealing with attendance issues and kids years below where they should be in reading and writing? Media will never show a movie or tv show that really shows what teaching is because teachers are not the ones writing the scripts.
ReplyDeleteDawkins: your post assumes that anyone not in the teaching profession gives a damn about what teachers think
ReplyDeleteI assure you, they dont
Randi is toxic because she has made the teaching profession toxic by selling out to the Koch brothers, Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates.
ReplyDeleteThey have indoctrinated her to think only for the privatization
of public schools.
8:56, I assure you it is not. I have several friends who are college professors who have told me that their colleges are contemplating doing away with their entire education departments because of lack of interest from students towards teaching. As the numbers decrease to critical levels there will be a push by companies like Bloomberg’s beloved Pearson for computer learning without the need of a teacher. The pandemic’s Zoom vastly accelerated the process to the extent that we have many groups wanting that option now under the very real reaction to unsafe schools.
ReplyDeleteAlso, more students graduated with remote teaching.
ReplyDeleteRandi never tweets about Trump? Over the last 36 hours or so...

5 takeaways from the Jan. 6 hearing on extremism and Trump
About the J6 Committee
Randi Weingarten ☮️🇺🇦
@rweingarten
I’m glad to see the committee making these crucial connections.
9:13 - I still don't see anything about DeSantis, but my mistake on Trump. Tweeting about the Jan 6 Committee and the CRIMES that were committed, and how he should be held accountable is ABSOLUTELY relevant She should keep talking about it and shouting it from the rooftops.
ReplyDeleteHow is it relevant? Isn't her job to support teachers?
Delete913 is right. She can tweet whatever she wants, but let’s not act like uft and aft gives a shit about us. Randi has much grander ideas and they don’t involve us peons.
ReplyDelete304, you must be blind, or not looking. I ill post it later. She constantly talks about a so called don't say gay bill. Talks about how Florida teachers are fleeing when they aren't even in the top 10, and bashes him all the time...While touting California and Warren and Biden. While ignoring the actual issues harming black and brown America.
ReplyDeleteLOL. So a teacher union president should be tweeting about Jan 6 all day? Is that her job? Aren't there bigger problems? Did she send one tweet about antifa crime? How about cities being burned down? How about children, students, being shot in Brooklyn and Chicago and Milwaukee and Atlanta? Don't be a hypocrite.
ReplyDelete11:32 What do you mean tweet all day Isn't? Isn't she at a conference right now? What antifa crime? Get a life, do your job and stop obsessing over her tweets as if they impact you in any way.
DeleteHer tweets impact me directly: I did not sign up to finance her political ambitions and hate for half of the country.
DeleteI guess everyone missed this too? Again, she can tweet what she wants, and can say what she wants...But not a single criticism of a dem gov or state. You don't find that odd? Aren't we all complaining on this very blog in a completely left wing city and state? She didn't notice? Or she doesn't care? Are Chicago students doing well or are they getting shot at and unable to read and write? Ever hear of NYC grade fraud? Did she stand with us? Just be fair.

@11:40 Boo hoo
DeleteRight on, Erica.
DeleteJanuary 6th is waaayyyy more important than anything related to teacher quality of life on the job. Fuck those selfish teachers expecting AFT prez to focus on their needs. Who the hell do you teachers think you are? Shut up, keep paying your dues and vote blue no matter who. Jeez. You think you’d all know by now the Democrat Party talking points are more important than getting a raise, keeping affordable and good healthcare, lowering class size, reining in administrator abusers and our pensions.
ReplyDeleteRandi is a union president and she knows teachers are rich, so none of the below harms them, so she doesn't have to speak about it...that's why she attacks Trump all the time.
ReplyDeleteInflation spiked 9.1% in June— a 40 year high.
Gas: +59.9%
Fuel Oil: +98.5%
Meat, Poultry, & Fish: +10.4%
Milk: +16.4%
Eggs: +33.1%
Coffee: +15.8%

Airline Fares: +34.1%
12:46 you poor thing. Some teachers post that they collect paychecks and do nothing all day. Maybe she can investigate pay fraud.
DeleteOk, let her.
DeleteNow that your mention it-Can someone tell me why my school is doing remote summer school? Students who did nothing for 10 months, didn’t even bother to attend, get all those credits, over 4 weeks, while staying home.
DeleteYes 12:07 an attack on our Democracy and attempt to steal the election and install himself President when he wasn't elected most certainly IS more important. Especially when they have spent the past couple of years perfecting the playbook for stealing it the next time.
ReplyDeleteSo the pres of a teacher union is now appointing herself that worthy task. And people wonder why there are so many problems. Why, coincidentally, does she not investigate the rampant black on black crime?
DeleteBoo hoo at 10% inflation. Tell boo hoo to the para making $30K. That's the union spirit. You proud James?
ReplyDeleteProud or not, but he will post the "boo hoo" over any links that do not pass his fact checking. Why would he trust hou, a teacher, do your own fact checking. Only opinions that feed his narrative are allowed.
DeleteHey dopey. Trying to race bait again, eh 5:29. I guess you think Weingarten is just so powerful that she should just investigate and solve all the problems of the world. W
ReplyDeleteShe just needs to do her darn job, which should not be political lobbying on HER OWN behalf.
DeleteBTW 5:29 she should investigate the rampant fraud of racist teachers like you taking a paycheck and not teaching.
ReplyDeleteBingo!
Delete5:38 I'm curious, are you one of those who posted you don't pay dues? Your syntax looks very familiar.
ReplyDeleteBingo @ 10:42. Mocking the paying of dues in one breath and squawking about union spirit in the next. You can't make this shit up.
Delete"So the pres of a teacher union is now appointing herself that worthy task. And people wonder why there are so many problems. Why, coincidentally, does she not investigate the rampant black on black crime?"
ReplyDeleteI'm not this poster but would love to know how this is racist. It was brought up, a million times, that Randi and Mulgrew don't do the job they are paid to do. Randi is clearly a left wing hack. Randi posts all days about how good Biden is. Randi posts all day about Trump. Someone said that Randi posts about Trump crim, so it's fine. The poster asked why that's the only crime she chooses to post about. The poster mentioned black on black crime, which I rampant, and harms out students, who are 80% minority. She also doesn't mention 9% inflation, which hurts the middle and lower class the most. Or the open border which takes jobs away from minorities. Or the drugs that are killing our children. Why? You can be a democrat, but an honest one. Some one says she doesn't say anything about grade fraud and is immediately told they don't teach. How do you know that?
9:19 what the heck does black on black crime have to do with this thread? Always with the black card. Shove it. Who are you to dictate what she should tweet about? And if you've never heard the poster come right out and say they don't teach, then don't butt in and mind your business. Some of us have heard exactly that. In fact I think you're that same poster pretending.
DeleteEnd the union and tenure if you want teachers easily fired. Some pro union blog, James. Your supporters constantly calling for teachers to be investigated and fired. They’ve convinced me. We must end tenure now! All teachers must reapply for their jobs before September. School vouchers as well. Parents can find schools where 100% of teachers teach. If we care enough about the children we can make it happen. No strike talk either. No summer vacations. The children need us in the classrooms 12 months per year. Oh and longer school days. If you really care, you’ll be there for the children.
ReplyDelete@10:23 youre probably the same one who admitted you commit fraud by collecting a paycheck and do absolutely nothing. Same lame "satire". Bragged about it even. You think that should be protected? Well its not. Not by teachers who actually work their fingers to the bone doing their job and yours.
DeleteI am a PARA. I find it tremendously insensitive to laugh about someone who makes such little money. Inflation is killing us. I don't care who you voted for. To live in NYC and make this little money and then to have my expenses double is making my life extremely difficult. Whatever the cause, with this President, we've gotten financially destroyed. It is more than a "Boo hoo." Please look at the salary scale if you need a refresher, then subtract taxes and dues. After that, look at where prices have gone for the last 2 years.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn’t matter with, I guess.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed copays are going up? I am a working teacher, so this isn’t a retiree issue. I just got some Emblem Health Summary forms and copay column is ridiculously high.
To para 1042,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry, but inflation is a high class problem, they said.
10:42 point to the post where anyone laughed at someone's low salary. Maybe you should be more offended that someone is constantly using paras as a straw man. If you want to complain about our economy put the blame on Republicans who run interference at every attempt at recovery initiatives. Not that I believe foe ONE minute that you are a para. Try again.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned copays earlier and no one said anything 11:35.
ReplyDeletePeople are too busy screaming in the wind to notice the reality we are dealing with.
So keep screaming how one side is better than the other while health care pick our pockets to make more money and then the city gives us even worse medical.
btw 10:42. the original "boo hoo" was at 11:40 whining about Randi..not the inflation. The idiot poster who responded and brought up "boo hoo" and paras never has any idea what he's talking about (maybe youre the same person). Just likes to knee jerk to liberals/black and brown/paras. Very limited thinking. Maybe you should stop listening to whatever they're trying to shove down your throat. But again, you're probably one and the same.
ReplyDelete1:09 talking to himself again. Lol
ReplyDeleteFor those who say teachers don’t teach-Can someone explain why schools are having remote summer school?
ReplyDelete2:21 what does teachers claiming they don't teach, but only pretend to if Admin comes in, have to do with students having summer school? Can you explain why you think one thing has to do with the other?
ReplyDeleteREMOTE summer school
Delete2:21 when teachers don't teach during the year it necessitates that students attend summer school to learn the content needed to pass state exams.

How about you stop evading the question "what does teachers claiming they don't teach, but only pretend to if Admin comes in, have to do with students having summer school? Can you explain why you think one thing has to do with the other?" REMOTE or otherwise?
ReplyDeleteYou should speak to your Admin about why they have a remote option. How the hell would anyone else know. It's supposed to be in-person.
10:23 said "Your supporters constantly calling for teachers to be investigated and fired. They’ve convinced me. We must end tenure now! All teachers must reapply for their jobs before September.

ReplyDeleteThe only one suggesting such ridiculous things is you, through your lame attempt at ridiculous straw man attacks. Nobody is suggesting "teachers be investigated and fired". People have suggested that YOU should be investigated and fired since you've claimed many times you commit fraud and rat out your colleagues. You are the one who claims you pretend all day long to stay on your Admin's good side. Why should anyone try and protect a stooge like you. Not teaching a bunch of kids who won't listen is one thing. Some have tried and failed. You've made a career of it and think it's something to be proud of and brag about. Big difference.
Come on, come on, come on. Just post relevant, possibly helpful stuff.

ReplyDelete8:29. You are unhinged and just making shit up. 5:29, 10:27, 1028 all called for investigation. There are other instances in other posts as well. Suffice it to say if you want UFT members investigated, you’re the rat. If you want teachers easily fired the way to do that is end tenure. If you really care about the children you want them to be able to go to any school of their choice so they can avoid the teacher(s) you think are so evil. It’s not straw man. How exactly do you get a school staff with your ideology? By investigating and firing. I bet some here have SCI and OSI on speed dial. These people are not the good guys. And they are not representative of what a teachers’ union should be. Get off your high horse.
ReplyDelete5:29 wasnt asking to investigate teachers you dolt. They mentioned black on black crime because of course thats the same as Jan 6. NOT. 10:27 WRONG and 10:28 said she should investigate rampant fraud in response to the race baiting "black on black" post.
ReplyDeleteWho said anything about ending tenure or firing easily? You're so afraid of rampant fraud being investigated because you"ve admitted thats how you get your paycheck. You're so far up Admin's ass I'm sure you think not having tenure won't affect you. You don't give a damn about anyone else. Frankly I wouldn't give a shit but people like you don't belong in a classroom (was going to say teachers like you but you don't teach). What part of YOU being investigated don't you get? Not teacherS. YOU. And not just for fraid but your racist rants.
What are you babbling about school choice? Who said anything about students not having choice. Do you even know how to read?

ReplyDeleteGet some new insults. Racist is so played out, it now just means someone you disagree with. Delusions make you think all the comments you don’t like come from one poster. Accusations of racism used to mean something. Not anymore thanks to you race hustling wokesters. Little boys who cried racism, no one cares . It’s now a compliment. Stop abusing children, pedos. When did you stop beating your wife? Why did you pull a Toobin on your last Zoom meeting? See how easy it is to toss accusations? If you bash Adams, you’re a racist. If you want to keep black kids in failing public schools while the elite whites send their kids to private schools that never closed you’re a racist. See? Racist…. A word nobody is bothered by except for a handful of lib boomers and idiots who still think it has any effect and still constantly over use it. Now go teach something instead of being a lazy ass scammer who projects his faults onto people he disagrees with.
ReplyDeleteA lesson on trolling? Stupid.
DeleteAmen, the liberal has a mental disorder. They see race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference in everything. They should worry more about cleaning up their big cities that they have controlled since before I was born. Liberal policies have destroyed our once great cities and states. People by the thousands everyday are moving out of these cities and states. Who’s going to be left? Where is the tax base going? I’m just grateful and fortunate enough to be retiring any day now and moving my family to a place that shares many of my families generational values. Good luck to New York and the rest of these places. Who’s going to replace my tax contribution? You guys already know the answer but you have invested most of your lives believing that one party is inherently racists while the other is virtuous Gotta love how the liberal minds works. Maybe when I’m retired I can do a study on the thinking of the liberal mind and find out why they continue to champion social and economic policies that have an over 50 year track record of failure Good luck all my fellow teachers it’s been a great 27 years trying to undo the brainwashing of this cities youth and showing them that Republicans aren’t inherently racists but actually believe in an alternative to the policies of Democrats. If you like we can have a respectful discussion on how you might believe the Democrat policies over the last 50 plus years have actually helped the intended demographic it was designed to assisted. God bless
DeleteI don't give a rat's ass about your take on things. You're hurl racist taunts, race bait, and racial insults. Makes you a RACIST whether you think it's played out or not. Too fucking bad. Who the said insulting Adams makes you a racist? Last time you insulted him I responded that he had just gotten into office because that was just a fact. Your went into your Tasmanian devil act because that's all you know. Hahaha @ "want to keep black kids from failing". Says the racist who says she gets $54 per session to do nothing in the summer while also bragging he does nothing during the year. And let's see, you say "delusions make you think comments come from one poster". Um, isn't that exactly what YOURE doing. Except youre a one trick pony and no other poster says they stay up Admin's ass to pretend they're woke and nobody but a dumb azz, in this day and age is dumb enough to admit they're stealing from the DOE and committing grade fraud. If the word doesn't bother you stop complaining. I said what I said, you don't like it, too cucking bad. Racist self-admitted FRAUDSTER.

If that's not 4:02 then mind your business.They try and pretend that their fake accusations are akin to accusations against them when they have posted the very comments they're accused of. My blood pressure is totally fine so maybe you ahould check YOUR mess, have yourself another drink, shut the hell up, and have a seat yourself.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, much appreciated. Lol
Delete@1:37. The Great White Hope. How sanctimonious of you. Its not your job to school students on your personal views of liberals and Republicans and "undo the brainwashing". Aren't Republicans enacting laws on regulating on how schools teach social issues. Youre all against it for sure while you try and brainwash them with your interpretation of things. What makes your family's generational values any better than any other? You think all liberals have a mental disorder and you think that's a good character trait? Is that how you view the parenta of your students? Your co workers whose faces you smile at when you go in? Then you have the gall to address your fellow teachers while insulting them in the same breath. Republicans overwhelming supported an attack on our Democracy and still support the guy who orchestrated it - that's a much worse mental disorder.
ReplyDeleteDidn’t say I was white, what difference does it make. Thanks for proving my point. You guys continue to make me laugh until my last days in the DOE. God bless you and our great country

3:55 you don't see individuals. Apparently you see political affiliation in everyone and everything and paint with very broad brushes. You prove that you're a hypocrite. How exactly does one have a "respectful discussion" when your opening shot is "the liberal has a mental disorder"? You want a "respectful discussion". LOL. GTFOOH. You're just another pompous narrow minded fool who hurls insults and then feign ignorance when you're insulted right back. But as long as you say "God Bless" that makes you righteous. NOT.
ReplyDelete8:40 <---another one bites the dust. Your little sanctimonious act was dismantled and went POOF. Saw right through you, and for that you think someone is "mad". If that makes you feel better have at it. Seek help for your rabid obsession and anger issues with liberals.
ReplyDeleteI will seek help, I’m actually on my way now. You should have been a doctor. Good luck my non red hatter and as always God bless, you guys are going to need it with the great liberal politicians in charge of everything for so long in New York. You always have the governor of California to come rescue to save this once great country. Hopefully it’s before china takes over. To be honest I do wish all my colleagues in the doe all the best , most of the time I’m just pulling your leg. You don’t last 27yrs in this system without learning something from colleagues of all political, economic, social, religious and ethnic persuasions. God bless

If you don't invest more into retaining
current teachers instead of recruiting
new teachers- the "new" teachers will eventually leave, too.
This blog, through no fault of its author, has devolved into not much more than people hurling insults at each other.
ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons for our current teacher shortage. The situation in Australia is but a part of a world wide shortage. That said, this article by Nicole Mockler points to some important local factors. Any community that publicly bashes teachers set themselves up for great difficulties one generation later.
