And the cut I'm talking about here is the lack of transparency on what the standards will be for firing teachers. But hey, if you want to put all your eggs in the Rhee basket, go ahead. But don't think for one second this has anything to do with the kids in your classrooms. It doesn't. Which is why there are slots STILL NOT FILLED! None of this is about the kids or "effectiveness" it's about breaking your union so Rhee can have more flexibility to fire and hire down the road and to hell with any accountability, except that which is created by Rhee and Fenty. <BR/><BR/>The union fights for the DC teacher chic just as much as it does for any other teacher in the system. This is called solidarity. Perhaps it's a concept you haven't yet taught your students yet. Oh wait, it's probably not on the test.bendygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354763484076446134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-8119799859606600892008-10-04T21:59:00.000-04:002008-10-04T21:59:00.000-04:00Well said Candi!

Rhee thought that if she placed a lot of money in the faces of poor broke teachers that she would be able to slide her real agenda of union busting on the table. She is trying to make a name for herself and she is doing it at the expense of DCPS children.<BR/>I hope that all the "others" realize that the 90 day plan was in effect about 7 superintendents ago...Rhee has done anything. Explain to me again her Plan B???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-66040989115608955932008-10-04T19:47:00.000-04:002008-10-04T19:47:00.000-04:00Ineffective teachers could always be fired under 9...Ineffective teachers could always be fired under 90 day plans- that's nothing new. You get no outrage from me on that. However, I do expect that our chancellor must develop an educational plan as required and provide the appropriate resources and support to teachers and local schools. Having class sizes over ratio and teachers working outside their certification area are just not acceptable to students or teachers. Now there's something to be outraged about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-74738115871485420322008-10-04T16:23:00.000-04:002008-10-04T16:23:00.000-04:00I predicted the union's outrage days ago.

The fact is, Rhee is going to see that bad teachers are fired under 90 day plans, and there is NOTHING you or the union can do to stop it!DC Teacher Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378646116878258735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-68177594408789217752008-10-04T09:57:00.000-04:002008-10-04T09:57:00.000-04:00If thats "manning up" then the union leadership is...If thats "manning up" then the union leadership is far worse than I thought and I already had a low opinion. Whining to a union paper which few will read (and will be preaching to the choir for those who do) is not action or leadership. <BR/><BR/>So several days later and what has changed? No contract or any word about it or whats next from the union, Plan B being implemented and Rhee moving forward with or without the union, and leadership whines and continues doing nothing, does that about cover it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
