"I actually want to start a new post but I don't know how.
My child was assaulted by another student. I don't want my child participating in a restorative justice process. I just want my child separated from this other child and for the school rules to be enforced. What are the parents' rights in regards to their child's nonparticipation in a restorative justice process? "

Contract negotiations/ schedules
Anonymous wrote:
"new thread please-- Contract negotiations as reported on the news...
Teachers are NOT trying to set their own schedules- which sounds like, hey I think I'll come in at 10 am. Teachers are trying to teach the classes they have taught for years ( ie 30 years in Kindergarten, but a spiteful principal could at various times placed that teacher in 5th grade-- doesnt benefit students!) Or when possible -when PD and preps are-- there are reasons for these things-- it isnt a whim! Union step up and clarify! "

Teachers' union/ "Win a trip for two"

"New comment: "Win a trip for two". That's what Nina Esposito sent out to all of her members. You read that correctly. Win a Spring Break trip for two and get a $2,000 voucher to take to any travel agency. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Can Esposito be this incompetent and this brazing to think that one teacher winning a trip for two will make hundreds of teachers who are being cheated out of their step increases, who are forced to do more work than any other group of teachers on the planet, and who are being hit with verbal assaults, punches, and now bricks,forget about the embarrassing,inhuman,macabre, introverted persona that a Pittsburgh Public School teacher must take on daily? Esposito, do us a favor, jam the raffle box with slips of paper that just have your name on it and take Harold Grant and Bill Heilmann with you. "
- What exactly do teachers need to do to be eligible for the raffle?
