Teachers should be paid $300,000 per year, have irrevocable tenure, have so many certifications that no neophyte could possibly muscle in on the action, and be impossible to remove even if their students actually regress under their liberal, anti-male, blatantly political tutelage."

"schools should help the entire family" LOL. If kids were learning anything in Randi's schools, education would've been considered helpful in ameliorating lives of many. Weingarten first & only loyalty/ priority is her union. Private & charter schools are the only way to go.

No Child Left Behind has been a disaster for public education. The sooner it's revoked, the better.

@fugothamist She is a political creature, yes corrupt. That does not negate her proposal as without merit. Clearly services to children and families need to be greater and more orchestrated for better overall results.

Well she didn't get to be Hillary's Education Sec, so she ran for this awhile back.
