They will clam up on everything now. Had he done this by organizing and gathering facts before he started this misaligned uneducated effort it may have had a chance.<br /><br />You made a mockery at the DISD meetings with your Occupy members, acting unprofessional at their board room, and masked picketers. <br /><br />My 10th graders show more professionalism than you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053241659237950172.post-49782896179513975762012-02-29T16:49:53.626-08:002012-02-29T16:49:53.626-08:00Mr. Dahlander stated in his interview on WFAA toda...Mr. Dahlander stated in his interview on WFAA today that students needed more time with their teachers...did they finally decide what the extra 45 minutes will be used for? I still don't think it will be for teaching. Mr. Dahlander was also so full of praise for what a wonderful job DISD teachers do and have done that I am wondering why they felt the need to mandate the extra time. I mean if things are going as well as they say, then we are capable of doing the work without being micromanaged. <br /><br />Thank you Mr. Jones for getting us to talk and some of us to move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053241659237950172.post-24629457063796343802012-02-29T10:52:03.281-08:002012-02-29T10:52:03.281-08:00Yes Mr Math teacher, I'm sure this is an indic...Yes Mr Math teacher, I'm sure this is an indicator of teachers agreement that they need to be in the building 45min more and that this will somehow increase performance within the district.

My opinion is the note from Dahlander shows the massive majority are in agreement with the DISD school board.<br /><br /><br />DISD Math TeacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053241659237950172.post-24958591228324276322012-02-29T09:25:40.313-08:002012-02-29T09:25:40.313-08:00If we don't want to call the approach cowardly...If we don't want to call the approach cowardly, then we probably have to at least say it is a bit squirrely. If the cause is as just and noble as is being presented, and if "Mr. Jones" wants to style himself as the leader of a great movement, then he should be willing to take the risk of putting his name to it. Might he lose his job or be marginalized in other ways? Yes, that may happen. If the cause is not important enough to take that risk, then what is the purpose of all this?Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053241659237950172.post-74460970629359341102012-02-29T06:53:51.902-08:002012-02-29T06:53:51.902-08:00So "anonymous" says you are a coward for...So "anonymous" says you are a coward for being "anonymous".
