What a teachers union has done to Gompers
Sdea doesn’t put students first. And as a staff member you know that, as a union pawn you have to play what your master tells you. At GPA it is an open door policy. So open that you feel you don’t need an appointment. I have worked for big organizations and small businesses. The leadership on this campus will make time for you. They will train you and equip you for what you will face. And continue to invest in you the professional. They don’t take from you they give, they give you the chance to make the change that sparked your dream to become a teacher! Every organization needs improvement. But when the result show that students are entering college and the pipeline to prison is dismantled unions don’t like that because who will fill the prisons, who will staff the prisons because they for sure have unions.— August 14, 2020 11:45 a.m.
What a teachers union has done to Gompers
SDEA and GTA are gangs, I call them gangs because if you don't agree with them they will cut you out the loop. They will send people into your community that look like you and speak your language just to turn around set you up and steal what you have worked for. This is all too true in SOUTHEASTxSD. sdea is stealing our students opportunity to a quality education. We are doing great things at GPA and have been for the past 15 years and will continue to do Heart Work for the community. GPA has brought students up to reading and math levels after entering GPA from neighborhood elementary schools, that sdea runs and push students through while students are below 3 or 4 times below grade level. Our students at GPA all have been instilled with belief and hope for a brighter future. GPA shows students that hard work will pay off, sdea is showing our students that MONEY and Control over southeast is more important. Azucena is being used by sdea because she is a former student pre-charter. Azucena like many other early union recruiters were planted at GPA. As a student Azucena had to hide from the gang violence and had to look to unclassified staff members for guidance and hope because during that time teachers were trying to avoid gang violence and looking forward to the end of the school day. AT GPA we are all passionate about serving students. Teachers that weren't sent with a union agenda that work at GPA understand that what is happening at GPA is powerful and is a real game changer. The real truth is that sdea is not wanted nor needed at GPA. The board of directors and GPA Leadership has and will continue to help teachers become master teachers, so they can serve students with a high quality education. Negotiating better pay is something that is possible at GPA, but if you got into teaching for the pay then why pay a union to speak for you when their focus is unit memebers and member dues. All stake holders need to speak up about how sdea is killing the GPA culture! and how sdea is stealing our students future. sdea go AWAY! sdea is not good for GPA! sdea is not the way! Thank you READER for this article. It's time to bring back the JOY-FACTOR!— August 14, 2020 11:07 a.m.
