All this anger and rightfully so. It's time the Parents of Plainview-Old Bethpage stood up to the teachers -en masse.
Go to the board meeting Monday night. Stand up and be counted. You guys are the one's footing the bill. Speak up and say what's on you minds. You can do this without being nasty, ergo, no retribution on your child. How about like NYC; "I'm sorry we love you guys, but we just don't have any more money to give you right now".
At the very least be a body there. Be among the counted. Decide how much of your money (if you have any left) is going toward someone else's raise this year.

I'm wondering how teachers, administration and the BOE would feel if I sent my kid to school wearing a button that said "Read to Me" or "ELA Test Prep Now."
ReplyDeleteWould that be OK? And even if it was OK, isn't it more appropriate to have that discussion among adults - parents and administration - and not involve the children?
Teachers are dressing in black and wearing buttons that say "Contract Now" in front of children. These kids can read and are asking what the buttons mean.
This might be OK but that doesn't make it right. Administration and BOE need to do something about it - and whatever it is shouldn't affect the contract negotiations - that's a separate agenda.
