A listening post monitoring public education and teachers’ unions.

You know you’ve been waiting for it:

TEACHER FROM HELL

Detower Editions Supports the Cause of Francisco Garabitos vs. the NYC Department of Education

THE CHILD ABUSE CHARGES ARE BEING INVESTIGATED AS ONE MORE TRICK IN A SERIES OF 18 CASES PROVEN AS FALSE ALLEGATIONS. THE PUBLIC CAN REST ASSURED THAT EDUCATORS LIKE ME WOULD NEVER HURT A CHILD…AND I NEVER HAD.

However I do have fundamental differences on educational theories and instructional strategies:

1- The DOE claims that ‘ALL CHILDREN CAN LEARN”…so when 40%+ fail it is the teachers’ fault.
2- I claim that “CHILDREN LEARN AT DIFFERENT PACE & STYLE” so when 40% fail we must change the method, the materials and the teaching strategies to reach and support the failing child.

I am a UFT union activist in the fight for universal human rights; pro-veteran rights, Native American rights, pro-women choice, pro-gay rights, pro-separation of church and state, pro-immigration reform, pro-Israel-Palestinian states, pro-green peace, amnesty international and habitat for humanity. I  served 4 years in the ARMY-NYNG  and dedicated 27 years to Public Education. Although ‘they’ have accused me over 20 times with bogus charges,  I have never been arrested nor convicted of any crime.  But members of an  education-less, profiteers, anti-workers union bureaucracy are actively trying to demonized  my name and did send me through the labyrinth of hell by: fabricating false allegations, reassignment to unnecessary rubber rooms,  unlawful imprisonment, professional harassment, slander and character assassination…

Now  I must rise, coming back from Hell with the help of Angels and Demons to expose and reform the NYC Department of Education.

WHEN  WE SEE SOMETHING… WE MUST SAY SOMETHING AND DO SOMETHING.

There is also a public statement and press release – along with some linky love for Monday’s EIA Communiqué. In accordance with that item, Garabitos did receive a hero’s welcome when he spoke at a meeting of Community Education Council 9 on Tuesday night.
