IS THAT WHERE YOU WANT YOUR MONEY TO GO?

I have always been against the idea that my union dues go to causes that I fundamentally disagree with. If anyone wants to make a donation to any of those causes, more power to them. Just not with my money, my union dues. Because of the spiteful and brutal manner that they routinely and smugly operate with I am hesitant to go through the process (I attempted it once). 

Neil McCabe  wrote a pretty good article on this. Give it a read and tell me what you think. http://townhall.com/columnists/neilmccabe/2013/05/12/chalkboard-rebellion-in-the-golden-state-n1591943/page/full

Have a great day!

We must police ourselves

OK, I've been busy. High stakes testing, grading, and an added roll of helping in the discipline room which we like to call the "learning opportunity center." I am glad I have not received a pink slip or been bumped into a different position. 

I hear talk about teacher accountability. Lawyers have the Bar Association. Well, I guess until we learn to police ourselves we will leave it open to others to police us. How about a board of teachers from all over the state that rules on teacher issues?
