Is that the best you got, buddy? Typical response for someone who’s run out of parroted party lines to recite. I am so glad that YOU are not in a classroom influencing young minds. Bad enough you think you can do that here. Trying to spread malice with no facts to back you up shows you up pretty badly for the coward that you are. The kind that takes potshots and then ducks behind the ether to stay anonymous. You wouldn’t survive a day in an urban high school. They’d dine on you in your first 15 minutes as you cower behind the desk.
You spout all of the appropriate lines that teachers unions have fed you over the years. Your anger drips off the page.
Oooo I wouldn’t survive in an urban high school...because you say so. What I find so interesting is that not once have you acknowledged the deficiencies of public education in the US. Not once have you suggested that there may be a few things we can agree upon. Instead you engaged in personal attacks on me.
I have taught in some of the worst districts that SF had to offer. It put me through graduate school. My experience in the public school system taught me that unions are strong and while some teachers might actually care about the students most cared about retirement benefits, days off with pay, and other ‘issues’.
When you say you have an advanced ‘science’ degree would you mind sharing with us what that is? Are you a high school chemistry or physics teacher? Do you teach AP classes or beginning slog classes?
And in your ranting you never did answer my original question....ARE YOU A DUES PAYING MEMBER????
