Recently, I blogged about why I don't believe the SRC in the case of resources making their way into classrooms as a result of them cancelling the contract between them and the PFT.
Well, I was wrong. Or was I? This past week money was forwarded to Philly schools to the tune of $15 million. They say it was from the savings to health care thanks to the teachers (or nah?).
Not one dime has been taken from us. Soooo, where did the money come from and so quickly?
I've tweeted the district and Dr. Hite a number of times. I'll resort to email when I get home from the barbershop!
Hmmm, something rotten on the state of Denmark!
I smell big money that stipulated that the union contract needed cancellation and teachers need to come out of pocket...again, for something!
WHEN we win in court, here's how I see it playing out:
1. Money taken back out of school budgets
2. Teachers and PAT overall will be blamed in commercials and commentaries
3. Fodder for reformy folks
But we CANNOT be deterred!! We already sacrifice. We know it. Parents know it. The community knows it. Five and Dime, Target, Dollar Tree, they ALL know it! Even reformies know it, but don't want to tell the truth and the whole truth!
The courts need to rule in our favor, AGAIN!!
