i agree about high stakes testing, but i think we need metrics of some kind.

and i think charter school teachers need to unionize.

but we have one of the worst teacher's unions here in the ctu. it is IMPOSSIBLE to fire a teacher here. anyone removed from the classroom keeps their jobs by showing up to "the rubber room", sits around all day, and still keeps their pay and seniority. so this particular union can go pound sand.

you are allowed to do what you are doing now. i dont see the problem.
