A UFT president with BALLS would sink their teeth into this like a pitbull and never let go. But of course we don't hve that. Instead,we have meathead Mike. All bark and no bite.Check that, NO bark and no bite. And you can just bank on him letting this remark just fade away. <br />Your union dues at work.

I have placed this 39-page j'accuse in the laps of NYSED, OSI, DOI, the Public Advocate, the City Council Education Committee, the UFT, and even Farina herself. Nobody will touch it and nobody will say why. Same for the longer version, a 278-page corruption complaint v. Farina and Condon formally submitted to the DOI. <br /><br />Finally, I confronted Farina during public comment time at the April 29 PEP meeting. It's on youtube--a three-minute stream of bluff calling regarding her role in the cover-up of Cobble Hill Regents tampering scandal when she was Region 8 Super and Klein Deputy. <br /><br />Farina is not just a bad Chancellor, she has dirty hands. Her shameful handling of the Dewey matter and the suicide case is not incompetence but bad conscience. Because she's a cheater, too. Where is MORE when you need it?

Race to the Top sought to "balance the playing field" and gave birth to Common Core. Then NYC took Common Core to the next "level" by scooping up Danielson because they wanted some method to hold teachers accountable. Finally, they sought to "enforce" these changes via teacher ratings. Of course Education is a monkey-in-the-middle game where parents, teachers, students, and anyone with common sense are stuck in the middle, jumping for the ball.
