He told us he was going to get rid of them so that the rest of us could teach. <br /><br />Almost ten years later, we can see that he wasn't after the crappy teacher at all. He was after tenure, seniority rights, and career professionals. He has closed many schools, throwing thousands of teachers into ATR pools. He has waged an effective media campaign that blames teachers and their unions for everything that is wrong with public education. He is well on his way to privatizing the whole system. <br /><br />In the bad old days we had crappy teachers, crappy A.P's, crappy principals, and a crappy bureaucracy, but Bloomberg is much worse. He is a tyrant that is installing a system in which critical thinking and honest dissent are punished. He is antidemocratic. His methods remind of Orwell's 1984. He scares me.Moriah Untamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256637291823077134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-76063143214246618462011-04-18T01:21:51.041-04:002011-04-18T01:21:51.041-04:00I worked with many zoo keepers.

Either way, the rest of the staff knew they were incompetent.<br /><br />The thing is, even with the new evaluation system, these teachers can still pass muster if administrators are too afraid to do their jobs. As for the tests, I am sure teachers like these cheat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-89934079986602082112011-04-17T13:17:57.287-04:002011-04-17T13:17:57.287-04:00More people need to realize that it is administrat...More people need to realize that it is administrators who keep these 'bad teachers' in their positions, NOT the unions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-26910512931264121232011-04-17T11:53:31.423-04:002011-04-17T11:53:31.423-04:00It is those zoo keepers that make us blackboard ed...It is those zoo keepers that make us blackboard educators pissed off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-27629102263201147182011-04-17T11:13:51.458-04:002011-04-17T11:13:51.458-04:00I also wrote about "bad teachers" in my ...I also wrote about "bad teachers" in my blog as well.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-84973014693279543292011-04-17T11:13:38.988-04:002011-04-17T11:13:38.988-04:00It makes you wonder as to who hires these teachers...It makes you wonder as to who hires these teachers,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
