The UFT has much cleaning to do in their own house. By the way that is something I do support. However, AFTER WE SOLVE THE PROBLEMS IN THE CLASSROOM!!!!!!! myplan:

Thanks to the UFT and your DOE comrades the classroom teacher is dying as well. Except it is not from roadside bombs or automatic weapons. IT IS FROM STRESS due to the mindless micromanagment, The increased class time, the large class sizes, the inadequate pay, the adding of cafeteria, hallway, and potty patrol to an already longer day and year, the 90-day unpaid suspension based upon a student accusation, and the general disrespect shown to the classroom teacher. The increase in teacher stress is most certainly a slow death for many of us. That is why we have retention problems that the suburbs don't have? Why aren't you demonstrating about teacher respect? How about organizing rallies about how DOE is destroying the large comprehensive high schools? Where is your outrage about allowing not ready for promotion 8th graders (8+) to be dumped into selected high schools and then label those schools a failure? Where are your protests about DOE's failure to enfore student discipline codes? When the UFT starts to earn their pay and does right by the classroom teacher. Then and only then should the union stray from their mission to improve the working conditions of the classroom teacher. JColletti;

There are probably some teachers who are dying there. Certainly some we knew as students are dying. Yes, and union members too. That's why we're going to be there tomorrow Those are parents and children and grandchildren and spouses and partners of teachers who are dying in Iraq.
