NYC Deputy Chancellor Cerf "Chided" About Soliciting Donation


Chided? That's it?
Would you buy a used car from Christopher Cerf?
A teacher would be hung.
Remember the librarian at Brooklyn Tech who was hounded for promoting his daughter's book?
Don't they have rubber rooms for deputy chancellors?
Five years ago I spoke at a PEP meeting and said one day the entire gang would be taken out of Tweed with their coats over their heads.

Mr. Cerf’s relationship with the company, now called EdisonLearning, first made headlines in February 2007, when he assured a citywide parents’ group that he had “zero” financial interest in Edison. He later acknowledged that he had relinquished his equity stake in the company only the day before.

“Raising money for a not for profit, tell me, what’s wrong with that?” he added.

Interesting how the DOE imposes all kinds of crap on schools and teachers attempting to raise money.

The NY Times had to get the Condon report using Freedom of Information. Good for them.

Perhaps we can ask the union to negotiate chide letters to replace those going into files to build a case to fire teachers.
How about chide rooms to replace rubber rooms? You stay only as long as it takes the ink to dry on the charges. And what will happen to the teacher who accepts a cheap bottle of aqua velva from loving student this christmas? How will they be chided?

I find that picture offensive to grifters. My grandma's daddy was a grifter.
