Look for everything to reach critical mass during the next mayoral election. Try to get out before then.

I disagree respectfully.<br /><br />The UFT can exert public pressure by highlighting some of the work of teachers who are having probation extended and then leave for the suburbs. Almost half of NYC teachers are denied tenure at least once these days. It will not be difficult to find a group of talented teachers to showcase.<br /><br />We can also expose principals who routinely deny tenure to good teachers.<br /><br />The UFT is usually afraid of a real fight. Instead of playing defense most of the time, why not play some offense?

The DOE always had the right to extend probation for any BS reason that they wanted.
