Sitting at our General Membership meeting of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers yesterday, our president, Mr. Jerry Jordan outlined the School District of Philadelphia's contract proposal and the PFT's proposal.
I sat there and really had to 'smh' at what it was that we really have to sit and negoiate about.
Manageable class sizes
A nurse in every school every day
The professional freedom for teachers to use prep time as they professionally see fit
A certified art, music, and physical education teacher in every school
These items arwe among many other items on the list!
It is a crying shame that we have to beg and bargain for the basics!
