Remember Weingarten's and Kleins' famous hugging pose? Likewise Randi handpicked her successor, Mulgrew, while the actual leader of the UFT, Michael Mendel, remains as the Puppet Master, same as Bloomberg is the Dictator of all education issues of the Board of Education. Another dirty hidden laundry is that ATRs are an embarrassment to the UFT as they are to the DOEs expediency program for overturning the highly paid and experienced tenured teachers out of the system. Stupidly, the UFT undermines itself by allowing the DOE to call all the shots as the UFT responds with reactionary facade as if they truly meant to offer any real resistance. The DOE undermines tenure and tenured teachers as the UFT acquiesces and helps them liquidate the Union. The ATRs are the expendables, the sacrificial lambs in this pedagogicide being promulgated bipartisanly.Polo Colonnoreply@blogger.com
