My advice would be to tape record every interview with a principal and ask questions about your salary, age etc b/c most of these principals really have no clue what they are allowed to ask and even if they do know, they are so brazen that they do not care. The ATR problem is just increasing, not decreasing. The only bright spot is there is no way they can give us a negative evaluationVeteran Teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370300591508959460.post-15653892719889349192011-09-01T01:12:34.028-04:002011-09-01T01:12:34.028-04:00When you change schools weekly, many things change...When you change schools weekly, many things change. Schools start and end at all different times now, so you are constantly having to adjust your wake-up/commute routine. You have no way of checking out traffic and parking issues ahead of time (then they can give you a U for being late because you didn't know about the alternate side parking rules at the new assignment). You can't be sure what time you'll be getting home from week to week. Good luck scheduling doctor's appointments and kids' extracurriculars. <br /><br />And just TRY getting any support from and administration and/or Chapter Leader who knows you are out the door in a week.<br /><br />I agree with Chaz 100%.

It is disgraceful that the UFT and DOE allows this travesty to continue as class sizes rise and principals hire untested "newbies" to stand in front of a class while claiming it is "children First".<br /><br />The union needs to sue the DOE if we are to eliminate the ATR problem and the discrimination that goes with it.chaznoreply@blogger.com
