Jeff tells us what a horrible thing tenure is, but that's apparently for everyone else, not for him. Despite telling us tenure only protects bad teachers, Jeff is a part of the tenure system. After his little rant and his insults to teachers, I would have expected him to reject tenure, as he's a good teacher and has nothing to fear. Guess it's do as I say, not as I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-77915518285701029122012-04-16T08:06:26.214-05:002012-04-16T08:06:26.214-05:00It is the height, the zenith, of hypocrisy and dup...It is the height, the zenith, of hypocrisy and duplicity to announce and preach that you have undertaken significant reforms to solve tremendous problems when you have not done so.<br /><br />The previous comment is absolutely right on target and is clear evidence of the hypocrisy and duplicity of these purported reforms.<br /><br />Regardless of how you try to spin it, or whom else you may demonize to take the attention off of the truth, it cannot and will not change what this really is - a big political game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-10734735078375469232012-04-16T06:34:13.019-05:002012-04-16T06:34:13.019-05:00THE TEACHERS ARE NOT THE BAD GUYS.

The fact is with his inability to maintain objectivity combined with his delusions of grandeur a public school classroom would "chew him up and spit him out" in just a few days. It is very sad that he feels the need to curry favor with politicians while spewing insults at hard working teachers who put his ability to teach to shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-15460501018976887682012-04-15T17:05:49.625-05:002012-04-15T17:05:49.625-05:00Mr. Sadow your ignorance is only exceeded by your ...Mr. Sadow your ignorance is only exceeded by your desperation for money. <br /><br />It must be awful, with the regular cuts to the colleges, to live in constant fear of losing your job if you don't kiss the ass of a twerp like Bobby Jindal. <br /><br />You are to be pitied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
