They like summer school and get passed for showing up. <br /><br />I have scored ela exams and regents and have been told to ‘give the kid the benefit of the doubt and score up.’ <br /><br />So, for years, there are many ways for kids to pass with doing less. It is what it is. <br /><br />I’ll try my best, prepare lessons and do my best teaching. <br /><br />But, at the end of the day, I will pass everyone. I do not need to be written up and harassed by an AP. Been there. Done that. <br /><br />I’m retiring within the next year or two and don’t see the point of fighting fights I cannot win. <br /><br />Do your best, but at the end of the day, it’s a job. <br /><br />Bloomberg killed being a city teacher. <br /><br />Also, we need to remember that if a kid or a group of kids don’t like you, they make up bogus statements and you are called into the office.

It occur. <br /><br />I’m not saying it’s right. I’m saying it’s true. <br /><br />I have also seen the health of colleagues deteriorate from increased battles. It isn’t worth it. <br /><br />Try your best, but swallow your pride. <br /><br />Work smart. Not hard. <br /><br />God bless!

Perhaps we can all continue in our positions and placement of ATRS can be done based on retirement, people moving away or getting other posiitons. I am in the ATR status and know what it means to be young and starting off with a family and I also know what it means to have 20+ years with a mature family. We all need our jobs and hopefully find fulfillment in our positions. I wish everyone luck.
