It wasnt much just a hug, a smile and a few quiet chat's but it made the world of differance and 43 years on that little boy searched for 5 years, found his teacher and hugged her back. When the days get tuff and you think your just not making a differance, have faith you just may be doing more than you realise. <br />lloydmills@xtra.co.nzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-86090065787694123272010-03-25T15:20:31.936-04:002010-03-25T15:20:31.936-04:00I do want everyone to have due process but we all ...I do want everyone to have due process but we all know there are teachers that should not be in the classroom. Those are the ones that give everyone there a bad name.<br /><br />Principals absolutely abuse their power and put teachers there without any wrong doings. Those pricnipals should be in the rummber room.<br /><br />And NO, the rubber room is not a reward. It is a demeaning, humiliating place to be. No one deserves that kind of treatment.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-38328070038244811282010-03-25T07:51:04.841-04:002010-03-25T07:51:04.841-04:00To anonymous: I don't believe that when "...To anonymous: I don't believe that when "Pissed Off" was expressing her frustration with the "Rubber Room" that she meant teachers are being rewarded. No teacher in the rubber room is being rewarded. Under the constitution, No one is guilty until proven innocent. I believe that she is frustrated that teachers are being harassed and pulled out for trivial and minor infractions- (often without charges) by inexperienced principals who have been given too much power. They use the Reassignment process to get rid of top salaried and experienced teachers in order to meet their budgetary demands. Teachers linger there for prolonged periods of time because the DOE denies them their due process rights. The DOE does not follow time lines. This denies the Union Members their rights to either be returned to their school or receive a timely and fair hearing.

Very we...I do admire your reasons for being so mad. Very well said. Especially the part about people in the rubber room that are being rewarded for their terrible behavior... benefits and all. Like you said, the system should just get rid of those deserving it.
