It is dangerous to tell him anything since it gets right back to the principal. The district rep just refers one back to the chapter chair. The other senior teachers are demoralized, depressed, frightened. They don't talk about it to one another, much less outside the school. I have taken action but I am only one teacher and the more I speak out, the more targeted I become. Who would have thought, 20 years ago, when I entered this profession bright-eyed and enthusiastic, that my life and career would now be in the pits.burntoutteachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-44032580950649573192010-04-12T06:02:08.617-04:002010-04-12T06:02:08.617-04:00I don't--called wishful thinking.I don't--called wishful thinking.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-42152542130688858342010-04-12T00:17:22.312-04:002010-04-12T00:17:22.312-04:00If the UFT didn't protect them before, why do ...If the UFT didn't protect them before, why do you think it will protect them now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-58940524721495727712010-04-11T17:55:05.111-04:002010-04-11T17:55:05.111-04:00The union line for the more senior teachers is and...The union line for the more senior teachers is and has been for some time now: By the time they'll go through 3020a, it'll be years.

If it's mentioned publicly, then Mulgrew should make a statement as to what steps the members at the school of hell should take.<br /><br />What about the district rep.? What steps has he/she taken to make it known to UFT borough office?<br /><br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear what the veteran teachers are going through and the indignation of that asshole principal. If something is not done regarding the bashing, and intimidation of senior teacher, then age discrimination and veterancide (a form of genocide) of our senior teachers will be considered the norm by all principals.<br /><br />Why aren't those teachers who being forced into retirement not going to media and publicizing this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-12198922717986354842010-04-11T13:56:07.398-04:002010-04-11T13:56:07.398-04:00Don't expect help from the union.

Several have already quit, put in retirement papers way too early, are desperate to get out. My principal even told an AP that he will never hire another older teacher again and is now determined to get rid of us all, U us until we lose our licenses. I have contacted the union several times but have had no response. Our new union president has been made aware of the situation but hasn't even had the decency to contact any of us. Our licenses, our salaries, our lives are being destroyed by this (other) Principal from Hell.burntoutteachernoreply@blogger.com
