But I'm starting to see some of the cattle break loose from that herd mentality in my school. We have a shill from 52 Broadway coming later this month and many more teachers plan on showing up to ask questions over ADVANCE, contract negotiations, Danielson and the like and I am betting from the tone of the conversations that I have had with people that these questions will not be asked gently.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-49389833696260164672013-09-21T11:56:33.169-04:002013-09-21T11:56:33.169-04:00And how many parents in that building stood up for...And how many parents in that building stood up for this man? I heard two women verbally speak out. What I find just as disturbing as the man being taken away is the complete lack of support this man received from his fellow parents. Reminds me of much of the rank in file here in the public schools - someone who knows the truth about the inner workings of the union will tell others yet many hearing that truth will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - not even educate themselves.

When it's time to have those battles against those items, we'll do so. For now, the fight is against Common Core, Danielson, Endless Testing, standardization and regimentation imposed on us all by our corporate overlords. I will join with any Tea Partier or libertarian looking to fight that movement.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-23889077974072425032013-09-21T11:09:54.009-04:002013-09-21T11:09:54.009-04:00That's a very brave man....until we're ALL...That's a very brave man....until we're ALL ready to get down and dirty like that...nothing will change.

Just another way to shut down dissent and criticism. Only it's not working. The more they do this, the angrier people are going to get. It's heavy-handed and obvious what they are doing. And people start to resent being treated like children. The movement against these people and their agenda is just going to keep growing.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-85816874615083773062013-09-21T09:34:25.360-04:002013-09-21T09:34:25.360-04:00They pulled that same "write your questions o...They pulled that same "write your questions on a piece of paper" crap at the ADVANCE workshops this summer.<br /><br />Yes, let's not have an open discussion about these evaluations. <br /><br />Keep your mouths shut, they're good for you, and if they do damage so be it.<br /><br />Thank you Mr. Mulgrew and Mr. Ianucci.<br /><br />Yours Truly,<br /><br />Teachers who are getting screwed.Poguenoreply@blogger.com
