The union will only officially recognize one of us on record but my co-chapter leader attends all the SLT, PPC, and school safety meetings. I attend the Delegate Assembly and take care of all the paperwork. It's an excellent solution since I am a classroom teacher and try to take minimal time away from my students during the school day. It is also wonderful to be able to strategize on problem solving with my co-chapter chair since she is intelligent and hard-working.Yelenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-53817827103519913832011-05-28T02:41:20.869-04:002011-05-28T02:41:20.869-04:00Norm, the teacher from San Francisco was featured ...Norm, the teacher from San Francisco was featured in the book "Teachers Have It Easy," co-written by Eggers, a few years ago. The book's story was that he couldn't be paid more because of the teachers' union contract (UESF) -- but actually, he taught at a charter school that wasn't covered by the UESF contract; they could have paid him a million bucks a year. <br /><br />So WTF?? The book blamed the teachers' union for the inadequate pay of a charter school teacher who wasn't covered by the UESF contract.<br /><br />That very teacher-turned-realtor has turned up as a parent at my daughter's high school, but I haven't decided whether to corner him at a school event and try to grill him.<br /><br />(I don't know if the movie hypes the charter school, Leadership. In the world of SF high schoolers and high school parents, it's a notoriously troubled school; it still benefits from plenty of hype among the uninformed.)carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127336930949752636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-83926350741116136332011-05-27T23:22:44.339-04:002011-05-27T23:22:44.339-04:00What's a Co-Chapter Leader?
