Ed Etc.

I seriously doubt that if union leader Al Shanker were alive today, he would support the Gates-pushed "Common Core" crap. He had learned his lesson about charter schools although he never should have come up with such a nonsensical idea about teachers and parents coming together and creating community schools that would give them more autonomy in the first place.

Although Shanker has long since died, he's never been able to live down the naive bullshit he peddled in the late 1980s.
