Volley from the teacher's union thug-in-chief:
"The Legislature truly just doesn't care about public schools," thundered Andy Ford, president of the Florida Education Association, the teachers union. "The 2010 legislative session turned back the clock to the 1960s in Florida. They've truly just undone everything we've accomplished since Reubin Askew was governor."Game,set,and match return by Karl:
While we're at it, let's make a few more changes:The lib-ruls are always pinin' for the 60's, but see what Karl says about it. I think not what the ass-hats had in mind... Desperate times call for desperate measures, and right now education is smack in the middle of desperate times.
•If your child is a disruptive little asshat, they get three strikes and they're out. First one in-school suspension, second home suspension, third you're expelled.
•Repeal mandatory education laws. You don't want to send your kid to school (or he/she doesn't want to go, or gets expelled), fine..... but....
•No GED or Diploma? No welfare - of any sort. Period.

My only gripe with tying salaries to "performance" is teachers will farther stray from actual "teaching" and will spend all their time coaching for the tests. They don't seem to understand that if they actually taught, the test scores would reflect it.
My kids have the CRCT week after next and they've done nothing but practice tests for it since Christmas holidays.
Oh, and I'm not sure they'd recognize a disruptive asshat, even if someone pointed one out to them. They'd much rather suspend a 6 year old with safety scissors for *pretending* he was going to cut his own hair than the kid who waves his penis around at little girls on the playground.
My kid was the one with the scissors & he was "posing a threat to those around him" and my daughter got to see a kid free Willie on the playground- he was just having trouble "expressing" himself, mind you.
I agree with your observation re: teaching to the tests. But I maintain that is more useful in the real world than teaching to diversity...
How about this-
Let's teach SOMETHING... anything other than just "be present".
