The poll was taken upstate. Mine is downstate, but it is the largest local in the state, the United Federation of Teachers, New York City. If we had pockets as deep as some of the "reformers," we could do more to publicize our partnerships with parents. It is ironic that parents trust teachers but not so much the unions to which we all belong.Docwashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925857414402582836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-40456130518558164272014-06-16T12:57:19.693-04:002014-06-16T12:57:19.693-04:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzQTs2SARA&fe...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzQTs2SARA&feature=youtu.bemychaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-54140121361359660582014-06-15T17:11:05.061-04:002014-06-15T17:11:05.061-04:00And gives context to the lie that teacher tenure i...And gives context to the lie that teacher tenure is damaging to children. Truth is, people like their kids teachers and trust them to do the right thing by their kids. If I ever get face to face with Regents Chancellor Tisch, I will take her to task for the lie she has told, more than once, that the public dislikes teachers. reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-20160423666411959242014-06-15T16:49:20.265-04:002014-06-15T16:49:20.265-04:00This is understandable, and, has been throughout t...This is understandable, and, has been throughout the privatization of public schools. People know teachers are just and choose the field to help kids.<br /><br />It is why it is so frustrating to watch our union leadership collaborate with the reformers and not provide info and truth and fight back with the parents' help.<br /><br />Their words are empty and their silence is purposefully detrimental to teachers, students, and their parents.
