The teacher's union is getting ambushed from different directions. This new evaluation system, if imposed on us, is not meant to make us better teachers. This new system is meant to make it easier to get rid of teachers or at least burn them out. Every teacher working under this new evaluation system that I know of dislikes it and is looking to retire early or leave the field altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-20095079747116322112013-05-26T16:51:54.994-04:002013-05-26T16:51:54.994-04:00Porky pig for mayor.Porky pig for mayor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-36019082600480370032013-05-25T10:58:34.366-04:002013-05-25T10:58:34.366-04:00Norm- Is Unity's Porky Pig endorsement also co...Norm- Is Unity's Porky Pig endorsement also coming at the June DA?

If Mulgrew said porky pig you would be on here in a flash telling us we shouldn't eat pork.<br />In fact Ed Notes went after Thompson time and again -- take some time and search the blog.<br />MORE has never mentioned Thompson or any mayoral candidate though some individuals in MORE seem to be leaning to de Blasio. And don't forget that great union lover D'Amato raising money for Thompson. We know they want Lhota but he made some dumb comments and now Thompson is their next best choice - they probably decided they could better get their ed deform agenda across with a black mayor. Throw a few tweaks in and maybe people will be fooled for another 4 years.

Just<br />looking at the Gotham Schools "Next Education Mayor Piece" we can see<br />that Thompson has said "There has to be some equality and equity<br />between the charter and district sides of a building. I’m not against<br />new charter schools and co-locating the schools, but we have to do<br />this differently.” Thompson will continue the grow the charter<br />sector, even if he doesn't close schools.<br /><br />Last night his buddy Tisch was not surprisingly at the Success Academy<br />Gala, and I am sure Thompson can easily be bought by Eva. Thompson is<br />moving towards the center and embracing ED deform, because he does<br />have a legit shot at being the next mayor. Unity cares more about<br />picking a winner than picking the right winner. Let's just hope that<br />Thompson at least keeps his word on the Moratorium on school closures,<br />and relinquishing majority control of the PEP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-13737461122113385552013-05-24T08:35:27.136-04:002013-05-24T08:35:27.136-04:00All of the blog postings on the mayoral election c...All of the blog postings on the mayoral election conveniently fail to mention the fact that teachers have no contract.
