>>>Within hours of the publication of the Teacher Data Reports (TDRs) last Friday, the UFT began to hear stories of teachers and their families being hounded by news reporters from the New York Post.
On Friday evening, New York Post reporters appeared at the door of the father of Pascale Mauclair, a sixth grade teacher at P.S. 11, the Kathryn Phelan School, which is located in the Woodside section of Queens. They told Mauclairs father that his daughter was one of the worst teachers in New York City, based solely on the TDR reports, and that they were looking to interview her. They then made their way to Mauclairs home, where she told them that she did not want to comment on the matter. The Post reporters rang Mauclairs bell and knocked on her window all Saturday morning. She finally called the police, who told the reporters that since they were inside her private housing development, they were on private property and had to leave. The reporters rang the bell again, leading to a second visit from the police and a final warning to leave. Later, Mauclairs neighbors told her that that the Post reporters had been asking them questions about her.>>>>

It's like "Bizzarro"-world from the old Superman comics. I realize that Sec. Duncan's connection to to public education is errrhhhhrrr...uuhhhmmmmm....eeehhhrrrrr... *MINIMAL*. ( His mom ran a tutoring service; my mom was a legal secretary. So I should be on the Supreme Court?)
And I realize President Punahou-Sidwell Friends is in an awkward position . ( He has... quite literally... no frame of reference. HINT: SO HIRE SOMEONE TO ADVISE YOU THAT *****D O E S******)
OK.... But they're dismantling my union and my profession. If I were not seeing this with my own eyes , I would not believe it.
DEMOCRATS: PAY ATTENTION. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY *WRONG* HERE.
