Az I Teach It....
- More union/legal problems? What if Arizona school districts begin to issue employees 'Letters of Intent to Rehire,' as they have in the past to circumcise the previous April/May 15th contract-issuing deadline? Does that mean teachers may not seek employment elsewhere, while district administrators wait for the State Legislature to decide upon funding? Then teachers could not leave their district until actually receiving a lay-off notice, possibly much too late to be hired elsewhere! Thanks, Master Brewer!
- Phased-retirement programs for educators were created for administrators, and offered to regular employees to lure them into a sense of false appreciation. Many quality, deserved veteran teachers have not availed themselves of this lucrative arrangement, because of the one-way restrictions that could cost them their jobs. Some teachers have confided that they were told point blank - 'retire for a phased-retirement program and you will be replaced.' Why? Because they are not liked! Administrators are not affected by these restrictions, as they are 'in the loop.' With the recent union-busting, anti-teacher legislation, it doesn't matter anymore, as a purge is on the way. If you qualify, take the money and run - you're toast anyway!
- A recent poll of teachers reveals that student-texting may help them to succeed in class - especially when texting the questions and answers to tests!
- Arizona's major universities are seeking a method to assist students in graduating quicker, thus saving money for the universities and the students. One option on the table is to issue worthless diplomas after only three years of partying, instead of after the present average of five years - for the same worthless diplomas!
