Buffalo Public Schools
Closed Tues. all staff report
Why does all the staff report to school?Quote:

they will all show up at the start of school, bitch and grumble about how dumb it is that they have to be there when the building is empty, stare out their classroom windows until about 10:30, then go home.
Dr. Williams is not about to allow the Buffalo teachers one tiny bit of extra break after the stunts that Rumore has pulled
notice Buffalo public is about the only district that does that. EVERY time it is closed, staff must report anyways.
Just another way for Williams to remind the teachers who is in charge, and to tick them off a bit too.
ANOTHER reason I'm glad I don;t work for the city district
Wouldn't it make more sense to leave the buildings dormant when there are no classes? You know, keep the heat down and lights off....save a little money, rather than making "a point" with the teachers and their union? Or is it ok to waste money and resources when it's to spite teachers and the unions?
I think you've answered your own question in regards to Williams.Quote:

I don't know, just asking...
Because they're paid to. I don't get off for cold.Quote:

there is no good reason
there are no kids to teach, so there is no reason to come into an empty building
They can discuss better ways of teaching children. They can discuss problem children and how other teachers in the school deal with the issues.Quote:

Yes,,, and one of those way is to teach parents how to care for their kids and how to teach them to obey the authorities, and while they are at it, they can also brainstorm on how to teach parents to care about their kids.Quote:

Williams has only gone after hte parents a few times....he's afraid they might demand his head and/or the school board...btw I never hear the school board criticize the parents.:eek:Quote:
