Greenwich teachers' union head lashes out at BET members who cut her scheduled vocabulary training session from the budget, demands their removal
/
in fact, these are not your children, these are not your schools, and with any luck, your future lies elsewhere
The local mouthpiece for the NEA speaks out, though who asked her to remains a mystery
At Thursday’s Board of Education meeting GEA president Lil Perrone blasted the Board of Estimate and Taxation Budget Committee.
“Most of the members were very polite and nice, but these three individuals really need to be off that committee. It was based on subjectivity. They made rude statements: ‘If it hurts Dr. Jones, then I’m voting for it.’ ‘Let’s get our own lawyer and stick it to the teachers.’ I could go on and on.”
“I’m going to call them out, and anyone else in this town, I’m asking the parents…it’s deplorable. It’s duplicit in nature. We don’t tolerate it in our schools. We are honest. Those three individuals need to be off of that committee.”
No, “duplicit” is not a word (and it took me four tries before I could get her invention past auto-correct)
Perone went on whine “I’m not feeling the love”, and I suggest there are many reasons for that, besides her demonstrated illiteracy. Ms. Perone, a gym teacher who, in addition to her union pay, receives $154,417.00 (plus benefits) from Greenwich taxpayers, heads a union that is responsible for keeping our schools closed far, far beyond what was necessary (that would have been a half-day), forming useless paper masks and bandannas on helpless children, and indoctrinating those same children with a curriculum that teaches them that: they are irredeemably stained with original sin; they should be ashamed of their country; and they are defined by their race, not their individuality. And, of course, that biology is not science, and 2 + 2 could equal 5, “if that’s how you feel about it”.
Maybe it’s something about running around gymnasiums that produces dimwits like Perone. Before somebody made the inexplicable decision to promote him to the position of Assistant Principal of Cos Cob School, Jeremy Boland had, like Perone, taught physical education for decades, so it’s possible that spending endless days teaching 1st Graders to skip rope retards brain development. Whatever the cause, it seems stupid to let a union chief demand the removal of town officers — literally, who asked her?
