More Drivel

about how it is supposedly difficult to get rid of a teacher because it is so expensive, while targeted teachers are languishing away waiting for their kangaroo hearings.

What a crock. Someday somebody is going to out these bastard administrators--the real problem in public education--and then the public will learn the truth about public education as it is currently in place--little more than rackets for criminality.

There's this letter in response to the article:

The Crime of Teaching Too Long
By Susan Brinchman, San Diego
Letter to Voice of San Diego

What is little understood is that the accusations against these teachers are often entirely false - it is a way to get rid of union members, union reps, and older teachers who pull larger salaries. There was an all out war on those groups in the past ten years in SDUSD. The teachers languish at home, waiting for a hearing in a kangaroo court, with charges that range from criminal to those that would cause loss of a credential, completely setup by the district's attorneys and administration. The principals and admins learned how to do this - as a cost-saving measure and way to break the union. It was legal and with the help of the broken legal system, which could cost innocent teachers a hundred or two hundred thousand easily, only to lose, it was a despicable and discriminatory act repeated over and over. The teachers who were taken off the job waited, often, quite upset, when all they wanted was to be back at work and be treated with respect for the good job they were previously doing.

To read about this in depth, buy Janice Howes' The Black Hole in the Blueprint, available on Amazon.com. She is a local, highly successful, talented teacher who was set up to lose her job and credentials. Her crime? Teaching into her 60's.

School districts are cynically using the tenure system as a way to throw out expensive, older teachers, like yours truly, and replacing them with cheapo bimbos. And then, when they hire the cheapo teachers, districts are increasingly denying them tenure, and thus their careers are ruined forever because of nationwide blacklisting. The children, meanwhile, are screwed over because they don't have experienced teachers.

It is becoming increasingly apparent the only teachers whose jobs are safe are those teachers who are politically connected to the district, i.e., they are family members of other school district employees. In other words, school districts are turning into family enterprises, like the mob.
