I wrote a full response to your comment on my site (see http://34justice.com/2014/07/09/vergara-v-california-panel-discussion-with-leadership-for-educational-equity/comment-page-1/#comment-1128), but your comments section is telling me it’s too long to post here, so to summarize: I think (and hope) that most of what you felt “let down” about stems from misunderstandings. I go into considerably more detail about each of the points you raise at the above link, so please check it out and let me know what you think.Ben Spielberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620151573254465688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624481082062651225.post-57847614209042335112014-07-19T10:58:38.610-07:002014-07-19T10:58:38.610-07:00"You should try and get a job here...it's..."You should try and get a job here...it's a good school with good kids." I heard that in most of the six schools I travelled to as an ATR. <br /><br />No! I don't want to teach at a "good" school with "good" kids. They'll be fine. That's what I told my former principal the day of my of my interview in 2007. <br /><br />More respect should be given to teachers who choose to work at low-income schools.<br /><br />Good analysis Urban Ed. Too bad my low-income school doesn't want to rehire me. Neither did the co located school Eagle Academy. <br /><br />This was good too. http://dcgmentor.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/why-parents-should-not-fear-teacher-tenure/Francesco Porteloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249197982072281997noreply@blogger.com
