Longer Day and Longer Year

Here we go again. The last time the UFT agreed to a pilot program was regarding the extended school time. Like a cancer, that concept spread to all the schools. Now, Randi Weingarten approves the idea of a pilot program for school to end at 6P.M. and losing 4 weeks in the summer. The next contract comes up in 2009. Is this what the UFT is going to agree to.
I can't believe that idiotic principal who claims that the longer day and year are both needed to accomplish school objectives. Lady, if you can't accomplish your objective during a normal school day, you ought to consider submitting your resignation or retirement papers.
With all the discipline problems in our schools, the last thing we need is for a longer day and longer year. Just too bad that the morons who propose this are not in a classroom teaching. Wake up teachers. Your summer vacation will soon go the way of the dinosaur.
I didn't strike in 1975 for the current UFT leadership to give everything up.
