Bravo, Arthur!. That one day in a classroom to enhance empathy with teachers bit popular once with candidates, leaves out an aspect of our experience gaining access within schools: no history of pedophilia, police record, etc. Cuomo for one, slither hands, would be 86-ed at the front gate. And I am so proud of Marianne for standing with us under the heat, literally, and abuse by Mulgrew and henchmen. Bravo to both of you!
Arthur I can tell you must have been a wonderful teacher. Yes , most of my basic planning for my students were thoughtfully worked at home ( my nightly homework) but remained flexible and sometimes could change focus if needed depending on my students reactions and understandings. The Retired Teacher Caucus was voted in , as you rightly noted because of one main focus … the need to keep our traditional Medicare with a city supplement plan. MM deliberately , brings all kinds of other issues to the forefront, ( not saying they are all not legitimate and worthy causes ) but NOT the overwhelmingly popular reason that our caucus came to be. Everything EXCEPT our right to keep our original healthcare, which I’ve had since retiring over 20 yrs ago ) has been the focus of all the meetings I’ve attended this yr as a caucus member. Sadly I am not surprised by your statements on how Marianne , family members and some heath care advocates have been personally vilified. It mirrors the political times we are living in but so disappointing coming from a group that I I use to think of as “ PROFESSIONALS “. The old saying “ when a fish smells , it smells from the head down “ is apropos!
Thanks for complimenting my teaching. The person who observed me most in my career was a custodian. He would be cleaning the trailers at the end of the day, and kind of enjoyed my class. He'd participate and talk to the kids. As for the RTC, I agree that our main focus needs to be health care. I wouldn't say we discussed everything but health care, though. It certainly has come up. Unity had a collective conniption when Marianne visited us. I think it's a healthy thing to put them through that.
