January 2011
Parents, Educators, Community Members, Council Members:
The NYC Department of Education is refusing to help our struggling schools. Many are being closed. When schools are closed, other schools in the neighborhood become overcrowded which in turn tends to lower their performance making them targets for closure. Others are being invaded by corporate sponsored, non-union, non-public organizations. Teaching and learning are being crippled by the reliance on standardized tests to make high stakes decisions about students, teachers and schools. We can’t sit back any longer and allow the DOE and Mayor Bloomberg to dismantle, destroy and undermine OUR public schools! Our schools cannot be successful and shine as funds are stripped away and CEOs who have little or no educational background are put in charge. Parents and teachers are pitted against each other so that we become divided. Public school students, children of color in the vast majority, are being used to further the goal of privatizing and controlling public education for the benefit of corporate interests.
We need to take back ownership of OUR schools and demand an enriched education for every child in NYC. No one person or group can do this alone. There has to be solidarity, cooperation and mutual support among those of us fighting for a truly democratic, equitable and just system of public education. We may not all agree on all of the issues facing education today, but we can agree that closing schools, “transforming” them or replacing them with charters, in a punitive, uninformed and undemocratic manner, will only result in catastrophe for students. And we can agree that the business model, which has failed our entire economy, is not the one we should use to run our schools.
Help stop school closings and charter invasions. Let your voices be heard. Say no to privatization. Demand equitable funding and democratic governance for our schools, not closures. Tell Mayor Bloomberg and the DOE that we will not allow OUR children to be hurt any longer!

Stepping stone, numerous hehltacare positions need to know about medication. This makes being a pharmacy technician and obtaining a excellent knowledge about drugs an excellent stepping stone task for most hehltacare careers. Besides obtaining expertise about medications, there are numerous pharm tech positions that will perform weekends, evenings, and graveyards. This would make it achievable to earn sufficient to live on whilst attending college full-time. Lets take a look at a few of the key careers that benefit from having a pharmacy technician training initial. Pharmacist, this needless to say is the road I took. I was a pharmacy tech for over 8 years just before beginning pharmacy school. I seriously enjoyed currently being a pharmacy technician and the subject of pharmacy. 1 of my pharmacists recommended I go to pharmacy college. So I did, and in pharmacy university I found that my experience as being a pharm tech gave me an advantage over those who werent. When we were finding out drugs, I already had the generic, brand, and drug class down. This meant that I could focus on studying the details of each drug versus some of my classmates who required to study the names of your medications. Medical doctor, I know a couple of technicians that went on to medical school. The exact same principles apply as to pharmacy faculty. As being a doctor, you have to have to understand about medications and how much of a bonus would it be to currently know the drugs and classes. Nurse, several pharmacy technicians go on to nursing faculty. Having a good working knowledge about medicines like a nurse is actually a fundamental skill. To start out off with that expertise prior to even starting nursing college is great.
