The New York Daily News tells us about the 1.5 million dollar, 30 second spot that our leadership has come up with to celebrate “the passion and promise in our public schools”.
Did they forget to mention a few things?
Those of us who are in the trenches say YES, a resounding YES!
Those of us being bullied and denigrated by our administrators say YES!
Those of us having been found Ineffective by a vengeful and incompetent administrator say YES!
Those of us having been made ATRs for no reason whatsoever say YES! A resounding YES!
Where are those millions when we spend our own money to buy supplies that our measly Teacher's Choice does not cover? Oh wait, the Unity Union is using it for a 30 second slot on TV. Where are those millions when we could use them to hire better lawyers to assist the membership when they are brought up on 3020 made up, trumped up charges? You know where they are!
They have no shame. They parade themselves on TV and show the audience that all is good with our schools today. That our students love taking all these extra tests that show nothing. That our teachers are happy with an evaluation system that is made to get the strong teachers out. The teachers who are creative and don't follow a script to get the most out of the students. The teachers who build rapport and discipline with their kids.
There are many, many more things that they forget to mention, many.
No, they have no shame and it embarrases me to be lumped together with our Unity Union.
