[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are absolutely evil to be threatening to strike. [/quote]

Could you provide some examples of other ways you would like them to advocate for a new contract?[/quote]

Pretty much any way except that? But sure, you can keep on asserting that teacher’s unions can do whatever they want to advance their interests, and that the interests of children are irrelevant to the union. And if you say that, I will assert that the union is evil because they are using their power to hurt children. Even the threat of hurting children is unconscionable. The sad part is, most DC parents would actually support teachers getting a good contract - but when you make clear you don’t GAF about hurting kids, you lose your natural allies. [/quote]

Would you mind building on your first sentence? What are some other ways?[/quote]

NP but teachers could work to the contract:
Only at school during contracted hours (no after school extra help, club meetings, etc.) 
Only cover classes under the contractual way (I don’t remember what it is but there’s something where you don’t have to give up your planning every day for class coverage)
Don’t write any college recommendation or scholarship recommendation letters because it’s not in the contract (HS mostly, and this one most teachers won’t actually do but it’s effective)[/quote]

Guess what? Teachers aren’t going to strike. You know it, and so do we. Also, your ideas are great. If I did any of them my Impact rating would be abysmally low. That’s right, p[b]art of our evaluation is based on what we do outside of our contracted requirements.[/b] How fair is that?[/quote]

Seems pretty sensible to me. I am a public servant, and we all understand that our contract is the bare minimum. If we work to that standard, we meet expectations. If we do more, that is how we achieve exceeds expectations or outstanding.

So your fired when you only meet the requirements?[/quote]

Oh wait, I do think you're a troll. I am not one to pick at spelling errors, but I simply don't believe there are teachers here who would make this error.[/quote]
