Too often, administrators consider our most experienced teachers to be out of touch -- to be effectively unwilling or unable to teach today's students -- as though a Type 75 makes them some sort of detached expert. We know otherwise. Our experienced teachers -- our master teachers -- should be revered -- they should be respected and looked to for guidance.
The same is true for our retired teachers. Our retirees should be the ones making extra money by mentoring our new teachers, by subbing (for higher pay) in well-disciplined schools, by doing morale surveys / checks for the PFT, etc. We should call on our retirees to serve in a variety of capacities after we ensure our schools are under control enough for them to be able to do so without being unnecessarily stressed out.
If elected, we will make every effort to get retirees actively involved in the PFT.
