Here we go.....

I just couldn't believe my eyes.
I thought things couldn't get worse.

Our AP had kind of alluded to this but we hadn't really heard the details. Thanks to the good ol'e New York Post for informing us.

Mr. de Blasio has just come up with another solution to better our NYC schools, as if our classrooms needed this.

Alas, our students will be receiving less disciplinary actions, all in the name of equality. He claims he is doing this in the name of equality. I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with color or ethnicity. Here again, he is trying to use the race card in his latest debacle. And in doing this, he will also keep the schools safe.

What, youre kidding me right?

Our classrooms are already a mess, but let's make it harder on the kids who come in to actually learn.
It is not like every time a student acts out he/she gets suspended. Nope.

And it is not like every time a student calls me a "Bitch!" or tells me to go "Fuck off" there are consequences. "He/she is having a hard day," says my AP sheepishly,

Let us now show how little we care about the kids who come in willing to learn, respect adults, and want to graduate and become productive in our society.

"They'll be fine, right?"
Well, not really, because as it stands these students lose a lot of time to the clowns, and the "playas".

They fall behind when teachers find themselves having to repeat themselves because there are five kids in the back who couldn't care less and have no respect for themselves or anyone else, for that matter.

They lose a lot of time every time a fight breaks out in the classroom and the kids, having faced no consequences, are right back in the classroom to start another fight 10 minutes later.

You get the picture.

And now he will drastically reduce punishments!!!
And all in the name of Blacks and Latinos!!!

Kudos, Mr. Mayor, you have done it again. You are a brilliant man. Just like your take on cellphones in school (he believes kids should have them), you have no idea what is happening in our schools.

Are you letting your teenage son help you dictate policy? Sounds like it to me.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM AND LEADERSHIP

Letter to Cuomo

If you are a NYS teacher or support the efforts of the educators in our state, 
sign this letter. It will tell Governor Cuomo to open communications and 
listen to what those who know education are saying. 
I JUST DID.

No Clue How to Teach

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad. I guess every state is feeling it. Ms. Katie kinda said it so why repeat!


I have no idea how to teach this way
