Several neurotic, nervous ATRs I've come across have hijacked my ear to express their frustrations concerning their overall anxiety. I replied that we all feel this to some degree, but that we have no control over what may or may not be happening. Their legitimate complaint is that we aren't being informed and that rumors seem to be par for the course when it comes to ATR issues. We do have ATR liaisons. Here are some recent calls that have been relayed to me:
ATR#1: Is the ATR rotation still in effect?
UFT: Most likely.
ATR#2: Are we still ATRs?
UFT: Yes
ATR#3: Will we be placed permanently?
UFT: Very doubtful.
ATR#4: Will things change this year?
UFT: Ask again later.
It dawned on me the UFT is using another high tech device for our benefit - the Magic 8 Ball.
Save yourself a call and pick one up at Toys R Us. Keep the receipt, you maybe able to use it for next years teachers' choice.
