Randi chat plagiarized

She got schooled.

American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten admitted last night a recent speech she gave plagiarized a NY 1 series on problems in the city school system’s $80 million computer system.

Weingarten, said she didn’t write the speech, but understood “the buck stops here.”

“The speechwriter feels terrible, and I apologize,” she said.

The speech quoted information from NY 1’s series on the much-touted but flawed computer system “ARIS,” and noting that teachers had devised a better way for parents and educators alike to access student info.

“It’s a good example where teachers were incredibly innovative, and I don’t want that to get lost” in the plagiarism issue, Weingarten said.

A spokeswoman for NY 1 said, “We accept her apology.”
