The ad has to show that he is a corrupt governor. But the board of ed policy now is not to attack the charter schools and tip toe around them.

LAME and a waste of dues money. Sad to say that the current UFT and NYSUT leadership are incapable of coming up with anything better because none are the sharpest folks around. It's hard to take their leadership and their message seriously when the fact is they ran the last NYSUT leadership out of town simply because that leadership was finally going after Cuomo effectively. Once in power, they sat on their hands in November 2014 and squandered opportunity when that was the time to rally behind Teachout and then Hawkins to mortally wound a bully governor at the time that it mattered, Not sure if the word stupid or corrupt best describes the folks in charge of UFT and NYSUT now ... .maybe let's just say it's a sprinkling of both.

But they ignore that and instead fight it with some generic "Give us more money!" ad.

When I saw the ad over my morning cup of coffee this morning, I thought, "That's all the public needs to think - that we're always asking for more money." It's a silly ad that doesn't go far enough to address the real problem with schools - principals who are accountable to no one, with very little actual teaching experience, empowered to fire the teacher you and your child love. The UFT is willfully stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-32235075581885831902015-02-03T07:44:01.110-05:002015-02-03T07:44:01.110-05:00I agree 100%.

We DO care about our working conditions and our careers. The job of a teacher union is to protect the interests of it's teachers. Our interests are not being showcased in these lame ads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
