I ha..."Teachers are our own worst enemy". I half agree. The UFT is the other half of our enemy. I have noticed over the past 5 or so years that many newbie teachers have no respect for veterans and think we are just a bunch of washed up old farts that should just retire. Worse yet is that many of these young teachers in their 20's grew up where everyone gets a trophy and feel entitled to rat out fellow teachers to admins. These newbies need some serious people skills.

Two kids started arguing and immediately went for each other. The teacher used a loud commanding voice and they stopped in their tracks. Danielson requires kids to police themselves so she received a developing in that componenet. You're the immature whiner and you don't have your facts straight. Teachers have legitmate compaints and frankly no one gives a shit if you don't see that.

Just to let you know: I have been teaching for over 20 years. I never had a problem with being observed back when there was no gotcha mentality, Danielson rubric, or admins who have a bone to pick. After we got tenure we would only get observed once or twice a year. Principals trusted us and let us do our jobs. If they had a suggestion, they would let us know. Now it all about nit picking, micromanaging, and putting fear into the hearts of teachers with these observations. So, you got no right to tell me to go find a new line of work. I have been here through it all and I will be here for a long time to come. I put in my dues and I have every right to complain about the fact that after 20+ years that I am pissed that I have to go through 4 observations like some newbie teacher when the rest of NYS teachers only have 2 observations. If you hare happy with 4 observations, more power to you, but you should back off telling me how I should feel. How long have you been teaching by the way?

Our society has turned its back on the pursuit of the common good. Why should billionaires be forced to pay for health care and education for the underclasses? Instead, the wealthy should have the education of their progeny subsidized by the formerly middle class, who will soon be challenged to put food on their family tables. Sufficient funding will be available, however, to support multiple intelligence gathering agencies and military adventures. Furthermore, the undocumented whose labor is vastly unappreciated will live in terror that they will be deported leaving their beloved children behind. We are not at liberty to escape the bigger picture.<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-11434658167745236262017-03-07T19:15:26.718-05:002017-03-07T19:15:26.718-05:00one prep, one room; basic classroom supplies &...one prep, one room; basic classroom supplies & technology, a discipline code that works.

The elephant in the room is the UFT. They are the ones who got us 4 observations instead of 2. Seems like everybody is forgetting about this but I am not. Is there any, possible, way for a petition to get circulated or a resolution proposed to fight the DOE to get us our 2, legally mandated observations? One of my fellow teachers had yet another stressful Danielson drive by the other day. We are all facing this crap while the majority of other teachers in NYS are having only 2 observations.
