When asked what they thought of the TIME article...this is what some of our customers had to say:
- Define "Bad Teacher"... Bad teacher by what measure? If they're referring to concepts like Amendment 3... NO NO NO NO NO!
Tech Millionaires (and other millionaires) need to keep their noses out of education, unless they plan on donating significant funding to schools, and not just the districts in worst financial need. All public schools need increased funding. So if they want to bank roll all schools to the point that all schools have all the technology, supplies, support, staffing, and facilities that they deserve, and to the point that all teachers and support staff are compensated properly, then they can have some say in how schools are run. However, no matter how much money they invest, they don't get to pretend like the are education experts, because they're not. They don't get to try to impose one-size-fits-all methods and measures. - Teacher does not force districts to keep "bad" teachers but rather gives teachers their due process in the event of a problem. It provides a process for administrators to deal with "bad" teachers. Most importantly though it gives teachers the security to advocate for their students without fear of negative consequences.
