I do know that they can't show me where it's WRITTEN that all students must pass. They can blame progressive this and liberal that all they like but they still can't show me this WRITTEN policy that says all students must pass. Only the regents policy states its passing scores. These teachers should just admit that they're: A. Too weak to stand up for self or B. Don't care about the students because it's not THEIR child. You signed up to do one thing. TEACH and you can't do that. You then whine about low income people and welfare this. Until you do your job correctly, shut up and stop whining about people who don't do their job. Finally when you hear me talk about the SYSTEM look in the mirror because you are a tool used by this system to ruin America. America hasn't reached its true potential yet because the system is rigged. The deck is stacked. 2020 taught us that the so called best and brightest of America ain't so best nor bright. Aren't you tired of fooling yourself or is it that comfortable living in your own Truman Show. Whine on collecting your BIG BUCKS. Isn't that welfare? waitingforsupporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390407586885648546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-16156249930364671822022-05-23T12:40:41.697-04:002022-05-23T12:40:41.697-04:001144,

Inflation is bad, but working summer school is worse. <br /><br />Also, the general public does not want to know the truth. If they did, they would have found it out already about what really goes on. <br /><br />Politicians don’t want to admit it. Nobody does. <br /><br />Honestly, I don’t want the public to know what goes on. Everyone in this system in some way, shape or form does or has done something that can be viewed as ‘questionable.’ Why open ourselves up? <br /><br />You teach those who care. Always been the game. Always will be the game. <br /><br />There will be kids who don’t care. You can’t reach them and that’s ok.

Because of inflation and other issues I need to do summer school again. I agree though, there are too many teachers that play the game. If the teachers all gave honest grades, the mayor and chancellor and public will see the system and the students for what they really are, but we give this illusion that the kids are learning because the graduation rate keeps going up. This is because everyone is just passing them through, so they won't be on radar. These people shouldn't call themselves teachers. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Does this sound familiar?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-8439393072552869202022-05-23T10:39:16.101-04:002022-05-23T10:39:16.101-04:00Personally, I don’t judge anyone who fights the go...Personally, I don’t judge anyone who fights the good fight and I don’t judge anyone who goes along to get along. The ones I judge are the ones who barely show up and when they do show up, they don’t even fake it. Lol <br /><br />This is not a ‘career.’ Sorry if that offends anyone. It’s a way to make a nice life for yourself. <br /><br />There is a term I believe in economics about diminishing returns. I believe this applies to the doe. There is only so hard you can work until you realize that the kids who just don’t care won’t care…ever! I am in my 40’s and this occurred when I went to school. Kids go to summer school, get pushed along and it is what it is. <br /><br />To those bleeding hearts, do you want 35 year olds in 8th grade? Probably not. <br /><br />So, in conclusion, if you play the game and fake it until you make it, that’s cool. If you are a martyr and a bleeding heart, that’s cool, too! Just show up and make an effort. <br /><br />That’s all! <br /><br />5 weeks until summer! Think about that. 10 weeks of no commuting, paychecks and not having to do any work or pretend like you are working. This is why the doe is great! It’s not the real world.

Money talks. The ones who will bite will be young teachers who are trying to get married, start a family, pay off student loans, and buy a house in the future. Also, those nearing retirement will bite to pad their pensions. Obviously not everyone will be on board. Adams doesn't realize that many times teachers are not the breadwinners in their homes. Many have spouses that make the bulk of the income whether it's a husband or wife, so they won't need the extra money, but there are many teachers who will bite at the opportunity.

As a teacher the healthiest thing to do is peruse the book, the art of not giving a f**k, and integrate into your philosophy. Hey, most of are fairly moral human beings and it’s difficult not to care, especially with the blood, sweat ,tears and monetary investment made into this disappointing and farcical ‘career’ ; and the integral fact that most of us were not raised not to care (or we wouldn’t have chosen teaching). But if it’s your survival, you’ll learn, and it behooves you to learn fast. Yes, a sad state of affairs. I can’t believe that Mulgrew was not voted out - I mean I can believe it, but hope springs eternal. Adams has done absolutely nothing to benefit the city or any of the workers in it. I would say the same concerning the schools and learning. Mulgrew has gone into hiding and will come out from under his rock now that the election is over. David Banks is a good man with good intentions, but really has the <br />wrong paradigm. Identity politics finding its way into all facets of education here is wrong. Banks can’t expect all teachers to give up their lives to benefit the children of New York City, but he does. There are those few that are single and perhaps doing a type of penance for their pass sins that will, but when Mulgrew presents it to all teachers as the ways and means for a raise, there will be an mighty uproar. Forget the faux raises and start fighting to regain the integral and substantial losses from the 2005 contract that changed teaching from a career into a job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-33975002678252299052022-05-20T11:00:24.972-04:002022-05-20T11:00:24.972-04:00@735am. 545 is a poor excuse and using your own op...@735am. 545 is a poor excuse and using your own opinion about 545's comment being the "only intelligent" one on here--your comment is unintelligent.

It’s only way for a decent pay increase. It doesn't matter if teachers commute from suburbs—the average NYC resident just don’t give a hoot. They already think teachers work daily from 8:00-2:30 and get too many holidays with 8 weeks of summer vacation. Also, a longer school year depends upon the State Legislature —that still could happen.<br />Adams and company have been lobbying in Albany during past few days for renewal of Mayoral control of schools—and it looks like he could very well get that 4 year extension—unless there are key Democratic politicians that object—which is unlikely. So look for his administration to push for more charters and start spreading plenty of anti UFT union propaganda. He is already stirring the pot with the District Superintendents.

That should not mean that people trade away their rights for money. I’m apt to say that teachers should fight to get back their pre-2005 rights and forgo the money. Teachers make a decent salary considering what many of us experienced for decades in the past. The UFT of course would trade away your very soul if it could for a few extra few dollars.
