Oh, there are plenty of other problems with this business model.

Hate to try to rank them.

This is the exact problem with the business model. Under this approach, it’s ok for 41 years .. 41! .. of awesome service to be ignored when it comes to one infraction -one that this principal had probably never thought he’d have to deal with, as it’s cheating on a Regents exam (not like an SAT or ACT or anything).

Amid Education Hoax, Everyone at Tweed Resigns, Walcott Joins Murdoch to Deliver Papers, Bloomberg Goes to Court to Force Everyone Back to Work or Turn Back Time, Whichever He Can Make Come First

Long for a headline, but it tells a story.

I feel sad that after 41 years he is not retiring when he wanted to but rather being forced out. His decision when to retire was taken away from him. I hope that the higher ups at Tweed DO NOT promote anyone of the Stuyvesant administration to be the next principal…not even as interim!!!

I went to Stuyvesant (and subsequently have become a college Spanish teacher although I did teach high school and left because I can’t stand the politics) and Mr. Teitel was my chemistry teacher. He was one of the better teachers that I have ever had. I was struggling and he would come over and make sure I understood what was going on. This is a damn shame. I can’t remember people cheating when I went there. Even though I was struggling, I never cheated. Rather, I asked for help and received it.

His departure will for sure make way for some ‘suit’, like the ones that have been infesting Tweed since the arrival of the Supreme Leader.

poor writing on my part…having lots of troubler with my computer. When I say this is the kind of Principal the Supreme Leader has foisted on the kids, I mean the Sternbergs and Halls of the world. And of course after a couple of years as a Principal, they’rer ready to move into Tweed and push their demented ideas.

Here we have a Principal who came through the ranks the proper way. Gain 10 to 15 years as a teacher then spend 5 or more years as an Assistant Principal and then you’re ready to be a Principal. Not any of these TFA boy wonders (see Sternberg, M. or Hall, A. who spent 3 or 4 years as a teacher and then suddenly become Principals and go even further. This is the kind of Principal trhe Supreme Leader has foisted on schools because his understand is a Principal is a CEO (see Black, C.) not a CIO.

But you know something. This is the right move for anybody. Why continue to put up with this garbage. He will make more with his pension (sorry Larry but this is the way it is and he will have earned every cent of it) because just think…no FICA, no medicare taxes, no state and city income taxes. And I’m sure with his experience, he can pick up money as a consultant or private work in education (see Nadelstern, E.).

Congratulations sir. Glad you told them to go fly a kite and you’ll find, like I did, retirement is such a pleasure as it is impossible for anybody with half a true interest in educdation to work in this system for these lackerys running Tweed.

If you are a principal with more than 10 years in the job, they will get you on something. If it isn’t this, it will be payroll. The Tweedies will not be satisfied until every principal owes their job to them instead of the open C30 process. The CSA is asleep at the wheel as usual.

They are going to post someone who will slowly destroy the school. They have been doing this to all the big schools.

This is the crown jewel of the NYC public high schools and the appointment hopefully will be given to a true educator with experience and recognition as a first rate administrator. That certainly means that no one from the leadership academy is qualified. Interesting to see how this appointment goes.
