What does he think teachers deserve? If he ever did it, he would realize it is tough work! Maybe he's a mysogynist that enjoys bullying women. 75% teachers are women.

As I wrote to the comment above, the "reforms" he's looking to impose are going to affect wealthy districts and those parents aren't going to like a lot of the garbage he's pushing.

Who is he grandstanding this "greatest failure of the state" to? <br />I believe that the vast majority of public school parents are happy with their children's teachers. The vast majority of public school parents see teachers as hardworking, caring, dedicated individuals who want to see their students soar. <br />In the more educated areas, more progressive, aware, and thinking locales, parents are very disturbed by the testing that marches to the beat of the common core.<br />Maybe he will fall flat on his face. <br />Ahhhh, another Moreland Commission mistep leading to political quicksand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-3873566000645690172015-01-20T19:40:06.736-05:002015-01-20T19:40:06.736-05:00I was horrified when I was teaching under Bloomber...I was horrified when I was teaching under Bloomberg and now I am terrified what is coming down the pike come Wednesday. The worst part is that our very union is complicit in all this.
