sell outs.... I think I'm done as a public ed advocate - the 'bought-and-paid-for' union leaderships have sold teachers and our kids down the river.... they're really busy having a veritable polyamorous orgy with PEARSON, GATES AND BROAD - no room left in the bed for teachers, students, parents...
oh - and the refusal of teachers to hold their union leadership's feet to the fire... sorry people - I cant/wont help you fight for your profession, your jobs, if you wont fight for them yourselves...
Page 11 "Teacher unions have always been a formidable voice in public education. We decided at the onset of our work to invest in smart, progressive labor leaders like Randi Weingarten, head of the United Federation of Teachers in New York City for more than a decade and now president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). We partnered with Weingarten to fund two union-run charter schools in Brooklyn and to fund New York City’s first incentive-based compensation program for schools, as well as the AFT’s Innovation Fund. We had previously helped advance pay for performance programs in Denver and Houston, but we were particularly encouraged to see New York City embrace the plan."
