ALL of these 700 teachers need to be given the pink slip pronto. There are more QUALIFIED individuals than these 700 teachers that can DO the job and make a difference in kids lives.<br /><br />These 700 "teachers" are NOTHING but a WASTE of taxpayers money. I'm surprised there's not a lynch mob organizing in New York. These teachers give others a bad name. They give the whole education/school system concept a bad name. Nobody needs to wonder why education in general is a "joke".<br /><br />This article is just sickening beyond belief.acehttp://www.abundantace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-37447657874260770982009-06-19T10:32:39.095-04:002009-06-19T10:32:39.095-04:00I was being just a bit facetious.

But there is irony in that a parent leader has been so much clearer on so many issues crucial to teachers than the UFT leaders.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-20909387268697404152009-06-19T10:24:40.855-04:002009-06-19T10:24:40.855-04:00Randi was a teacher -- though admittedly so that s...Randi was a teacher -- though admittedly so that she could be a UFT leader and not for very long.<br /><br />Leonie is right. She would not be a good UFT leader. Being a union leader, especially the leader of a large union like the UFT, is not an easy or simple job. Unless one has a good idea of the various aspects of such a position, it is silly to suggest that anyone for the position.Ceolafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038872543333554227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-50004142516459959382009-06-19T09:05:28.468-04:002009-06-19T09:05:28.468-04:00Leonie,

As for a terrible union leader, a major role is to make a rational defense of teachers, parents, students and a democratic educational process. No one does it better than you.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-9978574168437207882009-06-19T09:02:00.457-04:002009-06-19T09:02:00.457-04:00I have never been a teacher, am not eligible to ru...I have never been a teacher, am not eligible to run, and would make a terrible union leader!<br /><br />But thanks anyway Norm.Leonie Haimsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317355552298136811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-86974572645166915262009-06-19T07:05:41.601-04:002009-06-19T07:05:41.601-04:00Best idea I've heard in a long time.Best idea I've heard in a long time.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.com
