The parasites at the UFT will continue to steal from its hosts/dues payers.<br /><br />The majority being newbies, who don't know or give a shit about the problems we face.<br /><br />When the UFT gets to take union dues from those fresh faced, young midwestern, two year missionaries, there is no earthly reason for the union to actually represent us. <br /><br />The UFT will suck the dues out of the slaves who toil at the Charter Schools.<br /><br />The slaves will get nothing for their hard earned money. They will get even less than us, the house slaves.<br /><br />The union looks at this as a perfect business model. They will do even less than the nothing that they do for us.<br /><br />As far as the union is concerned, it makes no difference what unfair terms the employer foists on us.<br /><br />The bald pimp will pay lip service and then screw us hard, and without lubrication.<br /><br />As long as those assholes are getting two pensions and hefty salaries with expense accounts, they have no incentive to actually represent our interests.<br /><br />They have been getting away with it for decades.<br /><br />The UFT needs to be decertified. The Reichchancellor needs to deal with a strike. The Taylor laws be dammned.<br /><br />The TWU had the balls to stand up to the little dictator.<br /><br />Although, it caused me great difficulty, I cheered for the TWU. This is what unions are about. Not Vichy capitulation.<br /><br />We have taken abuse for far too long. It is time to get up and do something about it.<br /><br />If we settle for nothing now, we will settle for nothing later.<br /><br />Dreading this academic year,<br /><br />Angry NogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-7967109522303569182010-08-25T13:44:50.181-04:002010-08-25T13:44:50.181-04:00RBE-

These guys are no screwheads. <br />Peter Goodman - UFT shill - said it on Gotham:<br /><br />"From Seattle to Boston, from Florida to Chicago, from LA to NY, educational policy is undergoing a sea change. It is supported by the President and the States, it is accountability, core standards, free market driven: testing, ratings/remuneration by student achievement, value-added, charter schools, etc.<br /><br />Diane Ravitch and other scholars strongly oppose, however, the electeds are supportive across the nation.<br /><br />If the Republicans sweep to victory these policies wouldn’t change, the fed dollars would stop flowing.<br /><br />Teacher unions can either vigorous oppose and isolate themselves, they are powerless to change these policies, or, attempt to cooperate and modifiy policies.<br /><br />It is easy to blame Weingarten or Mulgrew, the same policies exist in every state and every major city."<br /><br />They know exactly what they are doing. Holding onto power is the game and if they were democratic and militant that power would be threatened. Just watch what happens in Chicago.<br /><br />They are Vichy capitulators. The only way to get the union to take on ed deform is to organize a group to take power from them.

Support for charters is up in the poll, as if support for "teacher effectiveness measures." But when you tell people those "teacher effectiveness measures" mean standardized tests at every grade at every level, tracking the data from those tests and firing teachers with it after two years, they don't seem to go along with the agenda. In fact, 60% say this data should be used to help teachers improve while just 26% say it should be used to fire teachers. And only 13% say it should be used to pay teachers!<br /><br />When you frame the issues correctly (i.e., Obama is promoting teacher firings, tests at every grade at every level, firing teachers and paying them according to those tests), the overwhelming majority of Americans do NOT support Obama or those policies.<br /><br />The key is to get Randi and the other screwheads at the union to stop allowing the ed deformers to frame the issue (bad teachers must be fired, Obama's policies do not promote teaching to the test) and start framing the issues the way they really are.)<br /><br />As for charters, people do support charters, but when you tell them they are going to take resources away from traditional public schools, support will drop. That's not in the poll, I am extrapolating that. But given how they feel about other things in the poll, that seems to me to be a reasonable assumption.<br /><br />BTW, the poll also shows how must people LIKE the schools their own kids go to. That's interesting - it means the ed deform press releases have worked for the issue at large even when the evidence in front of people is "Oh, I like my kid's school and teachers." Again, the unions need to do a better job of framing these things. But given who runs them and what their agendas are (Randi: "On, Obama, you LIKE me? You REALLY LIKE me?") that may be difficult.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-61880223645569964302010-08-25T11:10:20.786-04:002010-08-25T11:10:20.786-04:00I get all sorts of crap in my public email, and ju...I get all sorts of crap in my public email, and just last night I got something spinning those Gallup results to say the public supported "reform."
