Good for him! : )<br /><br />He is a living example of the craziness that is HR and its secret police/investigators. They run the show now, ya see. HR pays these foks $200/hr to write phony reports then revise them to say whatever admin wants them to say. Meanwhile ethics complaints and unfair labor practice greivances go uninvestigated.<br /><br />HR appears to have boarded the crazy train. Sue Means appears to be the conductor, Meisenberg the engineer.mirmac1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10183460709639638172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-8746329344928622432013-03-07T10:09:42.515-08:002013-03-07T10:09:42.515-08:00So it is not true that the race unit was already f...So it is not true that the race unit was already finished. My daughter was disappointed not to get Mr. Greenberg's feedback on the paper that she had spent a lot of passion and energy working on. She is also baffled as to why the gender unit has been halted as well. It seems like one family is having a giant hissy fit. Nothing less than making the SPS rub Mr. Greenberg's nose in dog doo will appease them.

So she never got to turn it in after working very hard on it. Some students initially suspected that the complaintant did this in order to avoid having to turn in the big assignment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465406406094872859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-3024192764075250422013-03-06T16:01:37.421-08:002013-03-06T16:01:37.421-08:00There's a rumor flying around neighborhood new...There's a rumor flying around neighborhood news groups today that we'll be having a LOT of half-day teacher furloughs due to the sequester.

He thought Greenberg was an outstanding teacher and related very well to students. Too bad his opinion doesn’t count.<br /><br />G. KromG. Kromnoreply@blogger.com
