An interesting comment

An interesting comment from a friend who works in a small NYC public school:

I just wanted to note that it is not just the archaic teacher's union rules  (we really have a wonderful relationship with our teachers) but the other  union rules around assistant principals and school aides that are arduous and  back breaking. We excessed (fired) a teacher's aide three years ago and she is  still in our office because DOE will not let us get rid of her for "just" incompetence. I thought I wanted to  become a principal but now having worked  in the trenches there is no way that I would put up with the work rules that  the school principals have to put up with.
