Many of us will make it - MANY! Why? Because we'll figure a way to survive the system. Will it be easy? Of course not - the system is a mess and I am at a "good" school and can only imagine the horrors that exist at a "bad" school. I just can't and will not wish my 40's and first half of my 50's away because of this. I don't know, but perhaps some of these teachers who have their head in the sand have the right idea. Perhaps ignorance is bliss when it comes to all these reforms. They are not as stressed, not as anxiety ridden nor panicked as I am since I read all this news. Let's keep on fighting (writing policy makers, educating our peers) but for me personally I am going about it in this manner: I am doing the best I can. I go all out everyday. I have yet in 17.5 years of teaching ever refused a student who needed help be it my lunch period or a time that I really needed for myself (I've seen many other have). I give a shit and by the way, I am a good teacher. I have no control over anything else, and I will not let this stuff ruin my life in anyway. It has for the last number of years and it has to stop. Just my thoughts anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-29114233501659152172015-03-24T22:46:00.795-04:002015-03-24T22:46:00.795-04:00The whole idea of a commission is ludicrous.

Giving the governor, Assembly and Senate two appointments each to six member panel assures a political outcome, which we all know is what is desired. Cuomo and Skelos want to hammer teachers and their unions and the Assembly wants cover from our wrath. <br /><br />It is beyond belief that a teacher evaluation system is being created by politicians who don't have the foggiest idea of how teaching and learning occur in a classroom. I am thoroughly disgusted with both political parties and all 213 members of the state legislature. <br /><br />I really do think the only thing that can save us at this point are mass arrests of this band of crooks. We need a complete upheaval of both houses and we need parents to say ENOUGH! If those opting out reached 35 percent or more, that would terrify these creeps and stop them dead in their tracks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-64874328869094176122015-03-24T22:02:00.213-04:002015-03-24T22:02:00.213-04:00I have in 30 years, and I'll still fight these...I have in 30 years, and I'll still fight these plutocrats when I'm 65, 70, 75, and maybe even 80!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-41614128563392122722015-03-24T20:17:06.289-04:002015-03-24T20:17:06.289-04:00I'll do you one better - how about the grand j...I'll do you one better - how about the grand jury?reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-64624815383360734982015-03-24T20:16:46.324-04:002015-03-24T20:16:46.324-04:00I have longer than that to go to get to my retirem...I have longer than that to go to get to my retirement.
