I have also witnessed the reverse--where a hard working administrator did the necessary paperwork and follow-up to actually remove a teacher who was truly bad for the classroom. It is possible for administrators to do this if they follow the procedures as outlined by the district and the union. I do not know why unions get blamed for merely doing what they are built to do. :)Bonita _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
