The word rape has such deep connotations and as a woman it send shudders up my spine and makes me angry; as my students would say it's a "trigger." However, I feel the word fits quite well in regards how the UFT has treated myself and colleagues! I paid dues for 43 years only to be raped by my union! <br /><br />I feel terribly sorry for anyone trying to teach under these conditions today. I wish teachers all had a chance to teach in the 80's and early 90's, that was teaching! Now we're raped by administrators, raped by the most bile students, and finally raped by our union!

What I want is the drive-bys with the Danielson rubric to stop! I would not care if I was observed randomly without that WMD A.K.A Danielson rubric. I would get observed one a month if I got to know the period and/or the day. Admins want to come in ... who cares... you want to rape me with a asinine rubric that I helped pay for with my union dues and now I have to have my unity troll CL tell me what a great job the UFT did for me... know i don't think so. ....

What a crock of crap. The UFT should have let individual teachers choose of they wanted 4 observations instead of the state mandated 2 observations. I'd love to see how many teachers would pick 4 observations instead of 2 observations in order to have a better shot at the "bell curve phenomenon". We all know the real reason the UFT agreed to 4 observations is that they are in cahoots with the CSA/DOE. This "bell curve phenomenon" is the biggest joke I have heard in a long time. Why did the UFT not ask the rank and file if they want 4 vs. 2 observations? Seems to me that the number of observations could be kicked back to 2 if NYS agrees to the rest of our observation proposal.

These 4 observations have the staff at my school furious and for good reason. The UFT totally dropped the ball and sold us out on this. Our teachers want answers.
