BTSA EMANCIPATION!


Free at last! Free at last! God all mighty - free at last!!

Just came from my "portfolio review" and my Get Out of BTSA Jail card is on the way to Sacramento. While not a religious person typically, I instantly got down on my knees and, sobbing my thanks to the Higher Power of your choice, created quite a stir in the little bomb shelter type bungalow that served as District 3's Portfolio Review site. I then grabbed a bunch of office supplies and hightailed it home where I proceeded to rip, tear, and burn anything BTSA related that I don't have to keep. It was cathartic. I recommend it highly.

I also recommend that you contact the Powers That Be to blow the cover off this BTSA BS. Below, I've cc:d a post from another BTSA prisoner. I've been emailing this lady my rants - perhaps you can do so as well.

Lastly, I recommend selling all the BTSA books you've been saddled with (and probably, like me, didn't have time to read) on E-bay. You won't make a fortune, but it's as close as you'll get to squeezing anything beneficial from the evil labryinth that is BTSA.



FYI: Here is the mastermind behind BTSA. Her name is Kerry Mazzoni. She is now a lobbyist in Sacramento and used to be a State Assembly Member. She authored the bill SB2042 (along with others laws leading to BTSA) which is stamped on your credential. She has responded with nasty letters to teachers who have written her expressing their frustration. Mazzoni even went as far to say to a teacher who wrote her expressing his frustration about SB2042 that, "I have concerns that you may not be cut out for the profession." She claims short stints as an adult school and pre-k teacher as her experience. She has no credential, never went through BTSA, and claims to be an expert on education.

Her email is kmazzoni@teamgsi.net and her work phone # is (916) 552-2629. I encourage those of you who are sick and tired of the BTSA hoops to call or email her letting her know how you feel.
