If I were interested in teaching in DCPS, I would not. I think anybody with a brain would not want to work in a hostile work environment, which is DCPS. "Newbies" if you value your health and good common sense, don't let Rhee&Co. fool you. Don't let the Rhee-formation lies fool you, she can not be trusted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-87271600376657901162010-07-19T10:30:46.449-04:002010-07-19T10:30:46.449-04:00To Anonymous @ 5:10

I know this because I am a WTU Building Rep. and service providers who were terminated contacted me directly to share this with me. As I stated it is my understanding that 14 service providers were terminated. I know five of them personally who have confirmed this. All have not come forward to date but it was confirmed by an inside source.<br /><br />Stop living in La La land and read the written word. I hope you will wake up and smell the coffee. Thanks<br />The Washington Teacher<br />_______________________________________________<br />Anonymous @ 5:10 writes: I have not heard of any other teachers being terminated on July 16. Maybe this employee is resigning? I'm sure other teachers will be terminated soon, but this headline had me worried for a minute because I was excessed and I thought I was going to get a letter saying my last day is July 16.

What really was upsetting is that the Union allowed the RIF. They knew it was coming weeks before it happened and they sat on it. Like the judge said TRO should have been filed long before the RIF. And then their was the strike that didn't happened. O yeah, when I was wrongfully RIFfed with other GREAT EDUCATORS teachers who were still working did nothing. They didn't participate when we rallied. Heck the ones at my school and the other colleagues from other schools REFUSED to talk about the RIF. Amazing because now teacher are being impacted and excessed. It' never to late for educators to stand together if not today then at least on Election Day. The riffers, impacted, and excessed need to have a strong presence outside the voting precinct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-30619795963551331802010-07-16T15:51:35.239-04:002010-07-16T15:51:35.239-04:00I really feel sorry for the people that just don&#...I really feel sorry for the people that just don't get it yet. Some of you are talking about why wont she hire us, tell the city council. Have you not figured out yet that this was the plan. She doesn't want any teacher that was here before she got here and her plan to get rid of us is working and I must say that the Union and the techers helped. We didn't fight in the begining when she called us bad teachers so now we are behind the eight ball. When we had a chance to do something we didn't even vote (teacher contract). At this point I am just disgusted and pissed off at us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-68735099754233601612010-07-16T13:37:59.478-04:002010-07-16T13:37:59.478-04:00Where do you get your pictures?
