The idea is to get rid of as many as possible to Make Room for Eva, which could be the name of a TV show.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-1272792534816935882014-02-09T10:34:09.216-05:002014-02-09T10:34:09.216-05:00Another good point - it's de Blasio's faul...Another good point - it's de Blasio's fault, of course.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-17545822300238832682014-02-09T10:22:16.487-05:002014-02-09T10:22:16.487-05:00This farce has been going on for years.

The subpoenaed documents are still coming in, some officials got delays on when they have to get the material in (understandably - it's a lot of material they have to give in), those documents have to be gone through. Then we still have the Wildstein story - is he talking to the US attorney looking for immunity? Is anybody else doing the same now that Wildstein pretty much asked publicly for immunity in return for him telling his story? It's going to be a long scandal, so grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy - it will get hot again. Plus you have the feds looking into the Hoboken/Sandy slush fund.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-38423588194596429832014-02-09T10:16:02.935-05:002014-02-09T10:16:02.935-05:00That's right.

However if you know teachers in other buildings where they do this, go an ask the non-academic subject teachers, how many times in December and January, the students asked them if they could "miss" their class to go and "make up" APEX/Blended Learning time they missed during the rest of the semester, so they can "log" the required number of hours. And heaven forbid they are not allowed to, because you might fail them in a class where the main part of the grade is actual class participation.TeachmyclassMrMayor(andyoutooMrMulgrew)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-51776277185845877682014-02-09T10:09:42.720-05:002014-02-09T10:09:42.720-05:00Mayor Bloomberg would be proud that this "ble...Mayor Bloomberg would be proud that this "blended learning program" had one teacher and 475 students. <br /><br />Another black mark on the Mayor's education legacy.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.com
