Teeeechers union bosses out.....student LEARNING improves

The blogging will continue until morale improves...
"Good news in The Big Easy where over a year ago they broke the teachers union and basically started over with publicly financed but privately board run charter schools. This year, testing of fourth and eighth graders have shown improvements by 12% and 4% respectively, in only a year. They still have a long way to go, but this is real progress from a completely failed school system in a short turnaround time. The major reason being given for this success is the quality of teachers they were able to attract."

Isn't it time we focused on "LEARNING" rather than "teaching"?
