Cooking the Books -- Public School Style...

[piece-itpete]

I was fortunate enough to have some good teachers, but even then they were somewhat the exception. One of my favorites, he'd assign a country to each student and have mock UN meetings. Still during the cold war. It was a blast.

I recently saw that Cleveland mayors have been fighting for the evil GOP gov't union busting laws for a LONG time. Stokes tried to take on the unions that controlled Cleveland's maintenence - lost. White asked the statehouse for basically our SB5 - lost. And now, Jackson is pissed because the GOP controlled state Senate stripped out language in a bill that gave him the ability to consider teacher performance in layoffs, vs strictly seniority. Jury's out on this one.

All Democrats, in a Dem town, trying desperately to fix Cleveland's horrible - and expensive - school system.
