Safety in Numbers?
I'm not alone after all.
At least one other teacher in Hillsborough County is willing to stand up and shout when the school district is acting in a way that's detrimental to our students.
Freedom High School's Shannon Peck-Janssen dares to ask: Is this good for kids?
We'll see if that matters to anyone besides us.

How the heck did it manage to make it into the Tribune? I view anything posted by the Trib as very suspicious. I take a watch and see attitude because there's something wrong down at Mama Trib.
I did have another teacher I am in touch with express concern over those 'in the system' speaking up and wondering why they hadn't been called on the carpet like he was.
That's a very intimidating environment but ELIA is totally hooked into the Trib which is why I view this with suspicion.
I do have the supreme confidence that if you get in touch with this teacher as a possible ally you will be able to discern for yourself if it's the up and up.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, remember that you inspired me to keep speaking up just by reading you. And you inspire others, I am sure.
It's a loss for Pasco/Hillsborough/students/etc.... but a gain for your new destination. (lucky them)
Threatening someone's job should never be in the cards when they practice freedom of speech.
I remember when teachers tried to speak up for Doug Erwin; they got that squished down flatter than a pancake but quick. It's very wrong.
I'm very proud of you.
I hope someone holds these people accountable but in truth, we are grossly outnumbered.
They are afraid of something and that is the TRUTH and the revelation of same.
I hope this lady is sincere; it's not her fault that the Trib. causes the suspicion that it does. It's a highly unreliable rag putting spin on stuff and sometimes giving people a voice just to make them feel they are being heard when the PTB are just having a good laugh.
I was heartened to read your and others' pieces in there but since one of the ladies is suing the City of Tampa, I had to wonder whether they were trying to mollify her in giving her 'a voice'.
Random thoughts from a person in a hurry.
Oh and just because you're NOT HERE that doesn't mean you can't still splash around in the Tampa B(l)ogs with the rest of us. I hope to move, as well but ... I always feel guilty about leaving the sheep to fend for themselves ...
