Central Falls High School To Fire Every Single Teacher

A Rhode Island high school has fired every single teacher after the teachers; union refused to go along with the superintendent’s proposed plan for increased workload without much extra pay. The school, Central Falls High School, was one of the worst-performing high schools in the state.

…This may be an unpopular opinion among some teachers, but I don’t think what the school was asking was unreasonable. Adding 25 minutes a day adds up to just over two hours for the week. Tutoring on a rotating basis indicates that it wasn’t going to be an everyday duty for the teachers. For example, my current school has almost 200 teachers including 25 special ed teachers. If we tutored on a rotating basis, I’d be responsible for maybe one week per semester. And lunch with students. . . well, when I had a classroom of my own, before I started floating, I never had a lunch to myself. I always had students in my room at lunchtime. We ate lunch and studied. If they didn’t have lunch, I always had apples or something around. You can’t get a job teaching at a school and expect it to be like an office. You’re going to go hours without a bathroom break and that’s just how it is.

I don’t often side against unions, but in this case, I really think the union was in the wrong….
