This could mess up mortgage payments, car payments and insurance payments.

Others, by and large, ignored that glaring red flag and chose to ignore it completely, to their and everyone’s detriment.) I think the idea of a teach in is an excellent idea - if it can be taken at face value. The problem is I don’t take anything that the Uft does at face value, and have not for quite some time. I’m sorry to say that I see it as a ploy to placate those who rightly say that Uft is extremely undemocratic. On the other hand, perhaps I’m wrong, and it is a step in the right direction. I certainly hope so, as the recent victory gives us all hope.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-13255711865659975752023-01-29T16:05:14.786-05:002023-01-29T16:05:14.786-05:00So like after teacher detention, I mean PD?
