I can totally see Mayor Bloomberg being the Mr. McMahon to Mulgrew's Stone Cold Steve Austin: the billionaire tyrant versus the unabashed, blue-collared rebel. Now that I think about it, our mayor-elect looks alot like a skinny Triple H, but I digress...<br /><br />Seriously though, where is the evidence in your argument that the "UFT is caving left and right on teacher evaluations tied to test scores, Danielson, Common Core..."? Test scores count for 20% of a teacher's evaluationin New York City. In some states, that number is 50%. In Houston, Texas, I believe test scores are 100% of a teacher's evaluation. Let me remind you that an evaluation system was necessary in order to negotiate a much needed (and overdue) contract. You may not necessarily like what you have, but compare your evaluation, along with its 3-man panel to argue some of the most aggregious Ineffective ratings, as well as its mentoring program for Developing and Ineffective teachers (which, by the way, will put the onus on admistrators to prove their ability to properly evaluate teachers) to other eval systems, and let me know what you think. Also, keep in mind that in January, there *was* an eval system in place that the UFT and the city negotiated, but Mayor McMahon backed out at the last minute. So who "caved in" there?<br /><br />Lastly, please understand that Common Core Learning Standards should not be the topic drawing the ire from our parents and teachers; our concern should be on the *curriculum* and how its been presented to teachers and administrators. There's been little to no training, and materials are *still* being mailed out to schools (my 1st grade daughter received her phonics workbook about 3 weeks ago). Standards had nothing to do with that, therefore the UFT-*your* union-should not be accused of "caving in". Unless, of course, you consider calling for a moritorium on high-stakes testing and creating an evaluation with a sunset clause caving in.Mr.Hughesonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829236000676765887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-61284498100918963922013-12-27T08:50:34.754-05:002013-12-27T08:50:34.754-05:00Note that the 40 million was made from 2002 but Da...Note that the 40 million was made from 2002 but Daretany was involved in 2008.

I am not related to Mulgrew and was offered a spot running one of the school based sites after school. And I know many people who were offered jobs higher up in tutoring companies if they did a good job. And the comments about Randi? Where does that come from?
