"You don't get into this profession to become rich", said just about every principal Ive met.

Who can think of something you could do with $54/month besides being treated like a pain in the neck anytime you call them? How many times have you heard (referring to admins), "They can do whatever they want." Really? Then why have DTU?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-17726560779524984232015-01-03T09:56:10.821-07:002015-01-03T09:56:10.821-07:00We can't even get half of the stewards to show...We can't even get half of the stewards to show up for a rally!

Maybe then, Vitti will respect our collective bargaining power and make some concessions. DTU wont do anything, they're a cheap puppet organization. Toothless would be an upgrade as it would imply that they wanted to do something, but did not have the power to do so. They're so in bed with Vitti.<br /><br />I remember the days when I first began teaching 12 years ago. Teachers would openly challenge/stand up to the principal in staff meeting if that principal tried any of the stuff that is common place at the school that I work at now: THEFT of planning, uncompensated long meetings and mandatory extra duty, elimination of printing privileges etc etc. If you didn't know any better, you wouldn't even know that we had a union.<br /><br />Vitti's policies and administration are a pack of skunks and the smell is getting too strong to ignore.<br /><br />When will teacher realize their collective consciousness?

Its just a matter of time before the waves swing against universities' education departments with sunamee-like forces. Peolpe will just not enroll to become teachers. Already, current teachers are advising high school students to stay away from teaching. I talked my own daughter out of that idea; she had an obsessive compulsion for being a teacher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
