On 4/12/10 I attended a WVEA regional meeting that was being held in preparation of Uncle Joe's special session on education.

Regardless if you are WVEA/AFT/Professional Educators or anti-organization you need to look at the issues that Joe Stalin is likely to put on a call for special session:

1. Abolishment of highering criteria (return of the good 'old boys system) 2. Abolish tenure 3. eliminate seniority 4. Elimating the 8 hour work day 5. Making it easier to fire all teachers (not just bad teachers) 6. Charter Schools 7. Pay for performance based on Westest scores 8. Annual evaluation based on Westest scores 9. Quick and easy certification for anyone that wants to teach 10. Additional changes to school calendar (After having just passed a bill he drafted). 11. Removing staff of low performing schools

Just thought I would pass along the info to anyone who is interested.

Remind him of these points in your emails and p...See More

Hmmmm While I am not a fan of Ole Joe whatsoever, I wonder about this topic. Notice the wording used:

" . . .Joe Stalin is likely to put on a call . . ."

as opposed to "WILL put" or "Plans on putting" or "I know this because I have evidence" and so on.

No, I don't think Joe is friendly to teachers (and I wonder how friendly th...See More

in the know FYI This is all about getting money from the feds. It has nothing to do with improving education for our children. Remember this spring when we had stimulus money and Uncle Joe cut education funding and replaced it with stimulus money. These funds were suppose to be used to maintain employment for public school. He is pressing this so he can balanc...See More
