The UFT fought back and prevented the closing of 19 schools because the DOE in its arrogance didn't follow the procedures in the new governance law. We all know they will have learned something and will go after closing those schools again next year. The Mayor's tantrum on the appellate court ruling makes it clear that this is still about they can do what they want and not about helping public schools help teachers.<br /><br />The sad truth is that this is the mentality that permeates the DOE including D79. It is always easier to destroy than to create and in the current climate when you destory you get a year or two before anyone looks at your accountability again.<br /><br />Cami will be gone long before the outcomes of her reforms (deforms?) are fully documented. The 2007 reorg resulted in the displacement of an uncounted number of struggling students adn the deforms at Rikers will most likely have the same effect.<br /><br />Nonetheless, Klein and Cami and all the corporate managers will continue to try to spin their destruction by distorting numbers, blaming teachers and looking for scapegoats. <br /><br />The sad reality is that in the most stable administrative climate anyone now working can recall, the DOE has not done anything to bring real, meaningful, lasting improvements to the school system. When these guys eventually leave, all they tried to do will wither away and disappear as well.<br /><br />Of course, we're all looking forward to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-57904741297313257652010-06-28T22:35:32.697-04:002010-06-28T22:35:32.697-04:00Cami Anderson.
