A Joking Carroll

Thomas Carroll, whose articles have been appearing in the N.Y. Daily News and Post, is joining the group of anti-UFT people.
Mr. Carroll, as an example, look at all the money that the Charter School heads are making. Case in point: Eva Moskowitz. No wonder she tangled with the UFT.
Mr. Carroll, the public schools must accept all children including the most disruptive and emotionally disturbed youngsters. Am sure that if a recalcitrant carries on in a charter school, they get bounced quickly.
While our class sizes in public schools remain high, all you need is for 1 disruptive brat to be in there, and the class is ruined.
Why doesn't Mr. Carroll and all his followers try teaching in one of our many SURR schools? Let him and others view the lawlessness that goes on in the halls. Let him hear the yelling, the screaming, children running amok, fights breaking out, smoke bombs placed under the doors, the constant ringing of fire alarms, and bulletin boards set on fire. See what goes on in the classroom. What I just mentioned plus urinating and defecating in closets, along stairwells, and in the classroom radiators. You ought to take a whiff of that stench.
Instead of calling for work-study programs and the revival of the 600 school concept for the unruly, you and others find it much easier to blame the UFT for the ills of society.
