Reply #60: It ain't me.

My teachers worked with and for a union. When I worked for a charter school, they were unabashedly proud of telling us how great it was to be able to hire and fire at their leisure. I just love having to worry about my livelihood on top of student success, parents non-withstanding. I cannot abide people bashing public school teachers. We cannot succeed without help from factions outside of our control, yet everyone expects us to. I will not be the whipping boy for those who live and die by personal projection of woe. All that, and I'll be taking on three new middle school periods next week. Let me know when you have something of substance to offer. It's back to my graduate work for me, then lesson planning. Or should I eat bon-bons? You be the judge.
