The grades are in – In Boston, the Charter Schools are the best, with public schools a distant second and the pilot schools are third.
So you know what we are doing? We are going to make more Pilot Schools. You see they are run by the Boston School Board and have UNION teachers in them so we like them. Charter Schools run themselves and answer to the parents with no union so we don’t want more of them.
When are we going to face the facts that the day of the Union is over. It was good when it started but now they don’t help anyone but themselves and our kids are paying the price for it. Teachers need to be accountable for the effectiveness of how they teach. The protection they get means the bad ones stay and the good ones leave the field for private enterprise where they can get ahead on merit. Our system is broken and it looks like Mr. Yes We Can Patrick won’t be fixing it . . . .
You can read all about it in the Boston Globe today. . . .
