Teacher Gets 58 Surprise Classroom Observations.

[Smarmie Doofus]

For engaging in union activity.


I do believe that MAY constitute a record.

Stumbled across this earlier today. It's a little old ( 2010) but well within .... and typical of..... education on the Obama era.

And the characteristic anti-union animus that colors it.

>>>Rodriguez taught at P.S. 173 and for 32 years “had an unblemished record.” He was also the Chapter Leader at the school and had never filed a grievance on his behalf. In April 2010 he submitted a preference sheet and was not assigned his preference. He filed a grievance.

Rodriguez alleged that, as a result of his grievance, he was subjected to an excessive number of classroom visits and observations including 58 unannounced “pop-in” visits. After the filing of a second grievance regarding lesson plans Rodriguez was subjected to still further scrutiny.

Additional animus was evident from the filing of a disciplinary letter to Rodriguez file and rating him with a U-rating.>>>>>
