How is it possible a whole year can go by with illegal class sizes, and the UFT answer is, "Well, not much we can do, hopefully the principal will lower class sizes next term." And we still must do out job under illegal conditions. the principal can just say, Fuck you, im keeping the classes illegal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-59008023416734271492016-11-27T18:29:20.974-05:002016-11-27T18:29:20.974-05:00Speaking of demands, my school has oversized class...Speaking of demands, my school has oversized classes, in almost every class. for years. principal constantly told, obviously knows, does nothing.
