I was first struck with the fact that he didn't know that personal days and sick days were entirely different things. Read your contract, Matt! Every contract between the teachers and the school district that I've seen has a pretty good explanation as to the difference between the two.
Next I'm wondering how he can justify missing 11 days of teaching. Let's face it, most substitutes come in and have a SUAC (Shut Up and Color) day, and I'm sure that was the case in his classes, as well. 11 days seems like a lot of days.
He seems to think he's a pretty good teacher. I haven't seen any proof otherwise, but usually the teachers who tell you what a good teacher they are are usually the ones who aren't very good.
Oh, by the way:
Originally posted by Matt Striker People like Anthony DeBlasi and others who want to run with minimal facts and create stories based on hearsay and conjecture are entitled, but take away with you this food for thought: New York City really needs teachers, some of the ones they have molest and abuse our children...
So he dumps on a bunch of his colleagues by painting them as molesters, and that claim really has no proof or facts to back it up. Nice job, Matt, you sure told DeBlasi what he could do with his "hearsay and conjecture"!

Exactly, and why would you have you doctor & your mom write you notes for your time off if you really thought they were just "personal" days?
I cared more before I found out he wasn't the unibrowed Matt Stryker.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
If you are a teacher and you are taking time off in order to go to Japan to wrestle, just do one simple thing: Wear a mask. If you wrestle with the mask, at least there isn't physical proof you were halfway around the world when you are taking sick days.
Yeah, and that was Bonehead Move #2. Hey, being a pro wrestler and a teacher aren't mutually exclusive, not by a long shot. Just tell the truth about it, is what I say. Don't call in sick so you can wrestle. That's not cool. And don't post about it on your website, you idiot!
OK, I've wasted enough brain cells on this guy, what's next?

IIRC, the tipping point was casually used racist comments, but there was other stuff going on even before that. To save from starting another TNA thread: Dutch Mantell (creative team) and Savio Vega (agent) have been let go.
