Another triumph of the american citizen over unions in the US
This is great news for public schools in America. If you cannot have good public schools, you lessen the chance for social mobility. Can't have it both ways: You can't have a teachers union that prioritizes teachers over education/performance AND give America's poor and middle class children the chance to prosper.

In a mesmerizing 56 minute closing argument, plaintiff attorney Marcellus McRae dissected the objections of the defense. As he repeatedly cited, it was the witnesses for the defense who, withering under cross-examination, provided some of the most compelling testimony. Again and again they admitted that yes, it is impossible to evaluate a teacher for tenure in only 16 months, yes, it is for all practical purposes impossible to fire ineffective teachers, and yes, LIFO layoff rules cause districts to lose some of their finest teachers, while retaining many who are ineffective.

I am convinced we don't have a teacher problem in this country. We have a learning and parenting problem. I am sure Adderall will fix this though.
