Parents, Teachers, Talk to your children!
2009-08-19 04:34:00 There is a strong dire need for all parents and teachers to talk to their children about what Ham and his crackhouse does to everyone's minds and how will they brainwash them into following their dogma that will delude them into never telling dinosaur from dragon, shun out historical facts that speak of atrocities committed even by Christians themselves before Darwin has ever learned how to write let alone was ever born, and calling lie, "truth" and truth, "lie." Not saying anything about it will increase their vulnerability towards this kind of dangerous dogma. I refuse to marry and have children because I would be a bad mother, a bad wife, and land in situations I would not like being in if I do choose to do these things. But I feel for families everywhere nonetheless who will have to deal with this kind of thing every time they go to church, every time they watch TV, every time they travel down the road, and every time they surf the web.

CPS plans to cut teachers at city schools
2009-06-25 19:02:00 CPS officials plan to lay off teachers from several schools, but insist these cuts have to do with reduction in enrollment and not the budget according to Chi-Town Daily News. Members of the Caucus of Rank and File Educators (C.O.R.E.) questioned how cuts are related to reduced enrollment if they were happening at schools where enrollment decline is minimal. CPS spokesperson Malon Edwards said many of these teachers were invited to reapply for positions in developing departments.

Exploitation of Teachers
2009-02-26 09:11:00 Dr Shahid SiddiquiWithout narrative, life has no meaning. Without meaning, learning has no purpose. Without a purpose, schools are houses of detention, not attention. - Neil Postman in End of EducationIN the neoliberal tradition of education, maximisation of profit and exploitation of labour go hand in hand. This model of education, which became popular in Pakistan in the last two decades, is based on a factory model where the emphasis is on mass production in order to make the venture viable in financial terms.In order to keep them on their toes, teachers are constantly demonised and exploited in different ways, be they economic, physical, emotional, social or psychological.In private English-medium schools, teachers are little more than robots, which is akin to being in a factory assembly line. In most of these schools, the punch-card system is in place and teachers are interrogated, insulted and penalized for being late. A common practice is that if a teacher is late for two days...

Florida Legislature to Florida Teachers - Screw You - Seeks to End Tenure
2009-02-14 18:37:00 Tenure is a joke. It keeps bad teachers on the job and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to fire them. CTA (Classroom Teachers Association) says tenure is necessary to protect teachers from batshit crazy administrators. Nonsense. What other job allows you to underperform without repercussions - allowing someone to keep a job indefinitely until he either dies or retires? Who do teachers think they are? Judges? But when Florida lawmakers are faced with all the problems in Florida schools and then decide to make this a priority, isn’t that yet another negative and nasty sign that Florida teachers are not valued? Supporters say ending tenure is a start. Maybe they’re right. Teachers should be paid more and the FCAT should be a diagnostic tool and nothing more. I’d support legislation that moves to solve all our education problems, but I also don’t want to deny that ending tenure is a good thing. This piece of legislation that will end tenure will also seek t...
