[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 71308, member: 831"] Against union rules to say anything negative? I think you ought to look THAT ONE up in the contract (If it's not in there, it doesn't exist). I would love it see how THAT'S worded because it's so bizarre. So, how do they decipline for breaking the "rules"?? I'm not a big fan of tenure, either. A few years ago here, in California, they tried to raise tenure from two to five years. Interestly, most of the teachers I talked to privately were for it. If your good for two, you can be good for five. The California Teacher's Assoc. fought it with a vengeance with TV ads and it didn't pass. I don't know how your SD is about bad publicity, but mine HATES it. If you have proof, witnesses, and documentation, go to the press. Newspaper, or local TV station. Have dates, etc. I have informed (notice I didn't use the word "threaten") the principal of school site where I work if I see one particular teacher out of control with students again, I'm going to videotape it with my phone. I will show them and if they don't do anything about this teacher (I've reported incidents I have seen twice)I'm going to one of our local TV stations (who would eat this up) and giving it to them. The principal tells me her hands are tied because of tenure (where they practically have to commit murder before they can be fired). When I told her about the video taping and going to the press, her eyes got like saucers. I like this principal, but the best interest of students comes first with me. I put it to her like this because she's a Mother: "Wouldn't you want me to say something if it was YOUR child she was going after and NOBODY ELSE would do anything about it???" Not much arguing with that. I'm not afraid for my job because I'm also protected by union contract and state, and federal, laws. Plus, I would slap a lawsuit on them so fast their heads would spin and my SD HATES lawsuits. Do what you have to do to be able to sleep at night. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
