Let me get this straight:

“educators nationwide are struggling to figure out how to find, train and measure good teachers”

So “educators” are not “teachers” and “teachers” are not “educators”? Where in God’s holy creation did this sort of double-speak arise?

There’s no cooperative governance here. First, we have no agreement what a good system would look like. Second, they are out to get us every chance they get.

Look, if I’m right, they want public education to fail so they can parcel off as much as possible.

This is war, not a marriage on the rocks.

We can posit some vision for the future, but there is no basis to work towards it today.

I read about this in an email from the UFT today. Crazy, just crazy. And what about all the schools that still track their classes (such as mine) so that one teacher has a clear top class and another a clear bottom class? Is the teacher with a bottom class less capable? It sure will look that way from a number on a spread sheet.
