But what a candidate says during a campaign and the kinds of policies they pursue during a first term, well, we've seen in the past how often those diverge. So we'll just have to keep a close watch on him and how him accountable for breaking promises and pursuing an agenda opposite to what he said he would pursue.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-34648705104761434942013-11-02T21:27:59.095-04:002013-11-02T21:27:59.095-04:00I was thinking of an e-mail campaign.

What do I mean by that? Well I mean that "Slopies" might espouse a hardline "progressive" rhetoric, BUT, when it comes to the placing of a drug rehab, or group home, or other social institution on their block-they will fight tooth and nail to oppose it.So, in many cases, their "progressivism" suddenly becomes quite conservative an eilitist...to the bottom of their "organic" Food Cooperative asses. I don't know the Deblasios personally, nor have I heard tales, since I've been out of the Slope loop for a good while, but I don't expect him to be able to the nudge monied uber plans for this town a great distance-in education or anything else. However...nothing can be as bad as The Great Satan we've just endured for twelve years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-15542162774669222432013-11-02T11:06:56.261-04:002013-11-02T11:06:56.261-04:00Exactly what do serious ed activists expect ?

It should have ...and probably WOULD have....been an opportunity to 1. vet the candidates ( including diBlasio) on ed issues; 2. educate the candidates ( including di Blasio) on ed issues from OUR perspective.<br /><br />As it turns out... we have another educational tabula rasa about to take office; one who thinks *Michael Mulgrew* speaks for me. <br /><br /> I don't blame di Blasio for being relieved that Mulgrew chose Thompson; I wouldn't want to be in Mulgrew's debt either. But the rest of us are screwed. And it's out own fault. If we don't want to sully ourselves by endorsing "bourgeois" politicians ... we don't have to endorse. We DO, otoh, have to LET THEM KNOW WE EXIST. Making connections to the union struggles in places like Chile is absolutely FINE. But a lot of excellent teachers in NYC will NOT HAVE JOBS at all if we have another 4 years remotely resembling the last 4. <br /><br />We need help NOW. And we need help HERE. And we need to establish a relationship with the HERE AND NOW in the form of di Blasio.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
