What is happening is wrong. It needs to be spoken about. Whether I have a job (which I don't in the true sense - nothing that is "mine" anyway) or not, the discrimination and vilification will occur.<br /><br />"At least you have a job" does not negate the need to speak out; neither does it make the situation fair.Life in Limbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370300591508959460.post-79765470498331093722011-08-20T10:04:34.356-04:002011-08-20T10:04:34.356-04:00I know that this is an old post, but- as a teacher...I know that this is an old post, but- as a teacher that is not a part of the NYC public system, I find it upsetting that teachers who are excessed complain when they are still working and receiving a paycheck. Is it optimal? No. BUT AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A JOB. I, along with 12 other teachers in my building, were excessed- and there aren't jobs anywhere. Districts where I am won't add to the sub list either since there are so many teachers on it already. So really, be happy you still have a job. I have no idea what I'm going to do to keep my family afloat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370300591508959460.post-64763485768306298082011-08-01T00:58:48.257-04:002011-08-01T00:58:48.257-04:00I think taking the ELA position that is if it offe...I think taking the ELA position that is if it offered will be absolutely fine. They said, they treated you well and for the most part, it was a respectful atmosphere. Believe it or not, there are schools out there THAT DO NOT play games with peoples lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
