NYC DOE’s TEST-OBSESSED PROMOTION POLICIES LEAVE MANY NYC FAMILIES IN LIMBO AS SCHOOL ENDS
First day of summer is NO VACATION for parents struggling get their
children promoted to next grade
WHAT: Come meet parents battling the NYC Dept. of Education’s dysfunctional and educationally unsound student promotion policies
WHEN: 4:45 PM on Thursday, June 27th
WHERE: NYC Department of Education, 52 Chambers Street
Assemble on the Courthouse Steps (In the event of severe rain gathering
will take place across the street, under the scaffolding at 51 Chambers)
Participating parents have children who have not been promoted despite
recommendations from teachers and principals who have determined they
are ready for the next grade level. They will also discuss concerns the DOE is arbitrarily forcing thousands of children to attend summer school solely on the basis of partial results from this year’s experimental State exams.

Schmuck, why aren't retirees voting in Newark like they do in NYC? .... Mulgrew/Weingarton to Newark Union President Del Grosso
...it isn’t a good idea for education reformers to invest too much emotional capital in collaborative union presidents. Most members are apathetic/agnostic about this stuff – about two-thirds of Newark teachers didn’t vote – but the active ones are generally very clear about what they want from their union: protection.
