If teacher want the public to get the facts they will gave to start a newsletter or the union will have to purchase a newspaper that prints facts not political fiction about charter schools. Here's an idea for their first "expose": Why is it legal for publicly funded vocational and charters to exclude special needs and social misfits when public schools cannot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216819897332534116.post-42298463456679238612015-01-29T19:59:08.454-05:002015-01-29T19:59:08.454-05:00High retirement rate is because of Durkin's in...High retirement rate is because of Durkin's insane policies. That is the teacher's money, we put money every week into our retirement fund, just like the private sector. Don't blame your poor financial management on the teacher's retirements funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216819897332534116.post-26129353596645835452015-01-29T19:56:17.649-05:002015-01-29T19:56:17.649-05:00The mayor is talking about budget cuts in the 2016...The mayor is talking about budget cuts in the 2016 year. I really don't understand why charter schools are included in the NB school budget. For God's sake-we have nothing now! Budget cuts-where did that 6-8 million go-we all know that part of that money funded old Pia's created positions instead of providing teachers with the help and resources they need! Go back to Attleboro-oh that's right, they got rid of you Pia!

We are going without as it stands now. Why don't charter schools accept all children, special needs, behavioral problems, Ela? Instead the trouble makers get booted out and sent back to the hard working teachers with 35 children in a class. Why does the charter school keep the funding when said child is removed? Really, we have enough of these "private" schools using public money in New Bedford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
