Out With the Old, In with the New

Shame on Mr. Rosenfeld for allowing ONE person (himself) to head the teacher's union for over 25 years! He has created a situation in which it is virtually impossible for someone else to "take the helm". Instead of the PCT being a democracy, it is run like more of a dictatorship. I, too, do not want to see the union run by one of his clones. He brings attention to the fact that the superintendent is double-dipping (as a retiree with a pension AND as an employee of POB schools). Doesn't Mr. Rosenfeld do the same thing??? He is also collecting a pension while simultaneously "earning" a substantial salary from the PCT. Is this done in other districts on Long Island. SHOULD this be done in Plainview??? The primitive tactics used by the teachers (marching, wearing buttons, dressing in black) are truly outdated. It's time to negotiate a settlement with the board and get rid of the animosity that has developed between the teachers and the community. We need to adapt to the times and replace the OLD with the NEW (more optimistic, more approachable and more respectable)!
