Destroying Teachers' Careers for Sport

is becoming a popular pastime for corrupt superintendents all over the country, using NCLB as an excuse to subvert union contracts.

Of course, that was one of the primary goals of No Child Left Behind, to undercut unions, which are despised by the right. What is hilarious to teachers and former teachers like myself who know the truth about our schools, the unions are in cahoots with the districts; they are next to worthless in defending individual teachers against these sociopaths running our schools and school districts.

A snip from this article:

Superintendent Patricia Hamamoto says she intends to again seek the authority to replace the principals, most teachers and other staffers at public schools that have consistently failed to meet federal No Child Left Behind requirements in light of a push by President Obama's administration for school districts to turn around the lowest-achieving public schools.

Last week, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan notified school districts of more than $3.5 billion in Title I School Improvement grants, which should be spent on drastically reorganizing chronically low-performing public schools.


Obama and Duncan are enemies of every teacher in the United States, regardless of political persuasion.
