Re: City Teachers

To be honest, I wasn't feeling it. Our union rep does very little and I didn't even know we were picketing till I got to work yesterday morning!

And now that I am sort of in a weird spot between admin and teachers, I see a different side. I see too many teachers who do nothing and don't deserve employment, never mind a raise. I really think that the tenure system needs reform. Not saying do away with it (because I have worked for INSANE supervisors who would fire people for stupid readons) but it does protect bad teachers.

That said, I do work with some fabulous teachers and it's not fair that some ruin it for all.

Sorry to hijack. I'm just frustrated.

As I said, my school's chapter is SO not together. There was another day when we were supposed to wear red and half the staff had no idea.
