UFT/DOE Plan for ATR's

Modeled on the day laborer concept, the UFT and Tweed have agreed on a plan to address the numerous ATR's (absentee teacher reserves) who have been left out in the cold by closing schools and a failed Open Market System. ATR's will line up at 6 AM at specially designated Transfer Stations. Principals will be given pick-up trucks and drive around picking up teachers.

"We feel we have finally come up with a plan that is fair and equitable for all," said a UFT spokesperson. "It is true principals will be allowed to ask teachers to jump as high as they can while the truck is moving and those that are able to grab on without falling off will be hired. But the old system was much worse."

I am not sure if you are serious or just being sarcastic....

See, I can really see the UFT agreeing to this and the DOE doing this.....

No matter how sarcastic we get, the realm of possibility will far outstrip it. In truth, nothing is really funny anymore.

Seriously, does ICE even serve a real purpose other than to drive a wedge within our union? Has ICE ever accomplished anything worthy of mention? And no, a sham presidential candidate in the last election, shoddy quality YouTube films, and heckling during the Delegate Assembly doesn't count.
