I am so glad I have only a few short years remaining in this disgraceful DOE.

I totally agree with you, James. Anon 11:51 is way off base. As in most things DOE the choice to order an involuntary resignation is given to the DOE. Whomever is in charge would be perfectly within in our contract to not accept a whole set of potential reasons why an ATR did not make it to an interview. I would not want to be in a position to place my faith in that person.Jeff Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728874415155394751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-40013617038970812452014-09-20T06:07:15.071-04:002014-09-20T06:07:15.071-04:00

In reality, this is the DOE; my scenario is not that far fetched if we are dealing with someone who is not so rational.<br /><br />I just received an invitation for an interview during the school day from a secretary but I got nothing from the DOE that says I have a mandatory interview. It is from a school I would have no interest in working at. <br /><br />Do I have to go if there is nothing official? If I miss it, is it one of my two before resigning? Yes, this uncertainty is a bit unsettling. <br />James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-27443358550478034502014-09-19T23:51:50.626-04:002014-09-19T23:51:50.626-04:00A subway delay, or any reasonable excuse will allo...A subway delay, or any reasonable excuse will allow an ATR another opportunity to interview. The idea that one will be summarily fired as a result of missing two interviews for legit reasons is not realistic. It is the repeated refusal to interview that will get one in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-37089471348013163932014-09-19T23:03:30.180-04:002014-09-19T23:03:30.180-04:00To 9:03,

Money was never part of the equation. Now that all those facets have been taken away, money is the only thing left to us. I've met so many young new teachers who are leaving this year to become cops, transit and sanitation workers. One guy I met said he'd take a job shoveling shit over teaching. There's dignity in all other jobs. Teaching is the only career where you can be systematically abused by everyone. If you stand up to a student, administrator, parent you're out and/or arrested. Call the union for help? You have a better chance of hitting Lotto.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-80193759598680631452014-09-19T21:03:10.187-04:002014-09-19T21:03:10.187-04:00I'd rather bag groceries than be an ATR.
