They couldn't let sleeping dogs lie. The New York Times publishes an anti-teacher/anti-union article in defense of Kathleen Elvin and Emily Creveling makes a "Trumpesque" statement about a culture in which it is somehow not the student's fault when they fail a class. <br /><br />Emily Creveling got a job as an administrator in the Freehold NJ department of education as a special education supervisor when Elvin was clearly in her final days at Dewey. We at Dewey were moving forward and actually loving our careers again. Now she contributes to this pathetic piece of journalism written by Kate Taylor. The evidence against Elvin and was immense. A report written by the NYS and NYC Departments of Education laid it all out. The Daily News printed a copy of a student transcript which showed the whole world what Elvin and her flock were doing. <br /><br />Please let it go. It isn't fair to attack Dewey's teachers or our union unjustly. And we will defend ourselves. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-29632314230793444472018-05-01T15:04:20.748-04:002018-05-01T15:04:20.748-04:00Let's hope the new chancellor stops credit fra...Let's hope the new chancellor stops credit fraud in all NYC high schools and has the guts to punish the principals and the assistant principals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-24094530108649366282017-10-27T08:48:05.119-04:002017-10-27T08:48:05.119-04:00Elvin was the wicked witch who was defeated by the...Elvin was the wicked witch who was defeated by the Dewey teachers and other staff members.

We celebrate returning with Kathleen Elvin gone, along with Webster and Creveling. There may be worse Principals out there but Elvin was pretty high up the disgusting human being ladder. Any person who uses their power to control and intimidate those a rung below them, as Kathleen Elvin did, is emotionally disturbed, a true character disorder. Unfortunately, Dewey is still stuck with Assistant Principals who were guilty of the Credit Recovery fraud and loathsome behavior that Elvin demanded of them towards Dewey faculty--Larry Orsini, Frank Benpensata, Eunice Chao, and Jon Messinger. Maybe they will follow Webster and Creveling and transfer to other schools. A word of caution to them all-- work very, very hard at earning Dewey staff's respect because at this time no one trusts or respects your professional opinions. It will be very difficult to change how we feel about you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-64350345741010120282015-08-13T13:18:57.538-04:002015-08-13T13:18:57.538-04:00Richard Wester, the greatly despised assistant pri...Richard Wester, the greatly despised assistant principal of nothing has left Dewey.
