Comments on: Misdirected and unhelpful perspectives http://www.ramonasentinel.com/2013/02/01/misdirected-and-unhelpful-perspectives/ Ramona's Community Paper Since 1886 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:43:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Concerned in Ramona http://www.ramonasentinel.com/2013/02/01/misdirected-and-unhelpful-perspectives/#comment-630249 Concerned in Ramona Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:23:42 +0000 http://www.ramonasentinel.com/?p=20796#comment-630249 I also did not appreciate Dr. Tanaka's letter. It was self-indulgent and should have been kept private for her own catharsis. Truly serious is the district's current proposal. If it is imposed, it will indeed result in losing many of Ramona's excellent teachers. How many will follow former school board member Dr. Lopez' example and leave? This town is reasonably upset due to the ridiculous teachers lay-offs when first grade classes are reaching the mid-30s; classified staff furlough days where many require subs...and many subs must also take the furlough days; and threats towards teachers. Yes, teachers have felt threatened and bullied for voicing concerns. If the district imposes, and teachers don't strike, then any teacher could be fired for an unfounded accusation. It will be in the contract. As a parent and member of this community, I'm extremely alarmed. I also did not appreciate Dr. Tanaka's letter.

How did that help our situation? I'm sure you care about the children, but I'm sure you care more about your paycheck and what actions the school has planned to reduce their costs. So back to reality and think of a solution or move out of this district and see if you can get another job in California as a teacher with all our states problems.

I’m sure you care about the children, but I’m sure you care more about your paycheck and what actions the school has planned to reduce their costs.
