Teachers at one school caught in parking permit lies

New York City elementary school teacher-blogger Mimi has been keeping us updated on the parking permit distribution process at her school. She reports that some teachers lied about their commute to get passes — but here’s how her principal (a.k.a. “the Visionary”) handled the situation:

The Visionary also sent around a chart which included the names of everyone who requested a pass, their REPORTED mileage, their ACTUAL mileage and, my favorite column, the DIFFERENCE between those two numbers. …

[O]ne individual reported that she lives 55 miles away, when in fact her distance from school is a mere 22 miles. Wrong double digits, sweetheart. Another one of my favorites was the group of people who requested a pass, yet live less than one mile from school.

  • Non-visionary

    That is hysterical that this teacher calls the principal “The Visionary”

  • Confused Teacher

    I work at a school in Queens and have never heard of one teacher at my school having a parking permit. Why do teachers need permits to park? Use public transport!

    If you need to park that’s your choice but local government should not be subsidizing it for you.

    What kind of role models are these teachers for our children? They lie, they pollute our air when they don’t need to, and they expect others to pay for their personal luxuries! So sad.
