I'll have some things to say a little later about what transpired yesterday at Commissioner King's Common Core forum.
Suffice to say, King was forced to listen to the damage he and his merry reformers at SED and the Regents are doing to children, teachers, and schools.
Alas, since they're intentionally doing that damage, these meetings will not bring about any change in policy.
The longer King and those who installed him refuse to listen and respond to parent complaints, the sooner they become a liability to the entire so-called reform project.
ReplyDeleteThat project entails the wholesale destabilization and looting of the public school system, and is predicated on the neutralizing and ultimate destruction of the teachers' unions, which the union misleadership has bought into.
May they all go down together in a venal embrace, lying to themselves and everyone else to the end.
Amen!
