The expressions of the public are openly attacked. Also in #1 is the call to have teacher evaluation (APPR) removed from collective bargaining in favor of legislation.Danilo Lawverehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672925336697561234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-8695340309034670092014-12-21T05:06:22.991-05:002014-12-21T05:06:22.991-05:00I would just say about #10, Cuomo (through Malatra...I would just say about #10, Cuomo (through Malatras) suggests consolidation of districts because of "declining enrollments." Isn't a big factor in that the students being siphoned off by charters? Consolidation can lead to closing local schools and more layers of bureaucracy. And then in #7, he suggests raising the cap on charter schools "to improve charter schools' ability to serve all students." So, charter schools for all. The agenda's pretty clear.Rebecca deCocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168718846105012814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-89795696929002069092014-12-20T21:51:55.640-05:002014-12-20T21:51:55.640-05:00I'm still stuck on #5, which states that lawye...I'm still stuck on #5, which states that lawyers get "recertified" every few years. What is he talking about? I'm only licensed in NJ, not in NY, but my husband is a NY and NJ attorney. A NY teacher must complete 175 hours of Continuing Education Units every 5 years (i.e., 35/year on average unless I'm missing something). http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/resteachers/175.html I can tell you that an experienced attorney in NY must complete 24 Continuing Legal Education hours every two years (i.e., 12/year on average, which is the same as what we've got here in NJ -- and FYI, you can double-count your hours if you're admitted in more than one jurisdiction). http://www.nycourts.gov/attorneys/cle/attorney_faqs.shtml#s1_q2 There is no relicensing for lawyers beyond that in NY. You take the bar, you get admitted, and then you do a little bit of CLE every 2 years (most of which can be done online). That's it. <br /><br />It's bad enough to attack teachers -- in prose so bad that it made me twitch as I read it -- every which way. But at least get your facts straight when you attempt to make comparisons to other professions.

It would also allow NYSUT leadership to signal their resolve to confront this thug in 2015 and beyond. <br /><br />Register today: https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/executive-mansion-open-house<br />sulliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18317906247512526498noreply@blogger.com
