HER DEFINITION OF COURSE.
If she said we should go to a ‘good doctor,’ then her opinion would not matter…. but as a non -educator, she gets to define ‘good’! In fact in LA, the managed to reid the system of those good, veteran teachers. Let’s look at LAUSD (the 2nd largest school system, as Professor Bill Koski at Stanford did:

“For every teacher at the top of the salary scale LAUSD gets rid of it has a combined $60,000 savings in salary and benefits, when it hires a young and no experience “teacher” straight out of college on an emergency credential, who doesn’t even rank in on the salary scale until they clear their credential. And that’s in just the first yea”r.

“So why is this motive for attacking more expensive high seniority teachers never mentioned in the tenure discussions of Vergara and elsewhere as a possible motive for removing high seniority teachers, while disingenuous and patently false arguments in favor of miraculously “qualified” novice teachers losing their jobs because of tenure preference for supposedly incompetent tenured teachers is the only voice heard?”

“Ninety-three percent of the thousands of tenured high seniority teachers targeted on false charges often alleging morals code violations of Ed. Code Section 44939- which leapfrogs over their collective bargaining rights to grievance and independent arbitration- just happen to be at the top of the salary scale.”

“In what other profession are those with the most experience 93% of those targeted for removal from their jobs based on alleged incompetence, while what remains an undisclosed staggering savings to the school district involved is the real motive for these teachers removal.”

“As charter schools that are for the most part non-union more and more replace traditional public school districts, it is estimated that corporations that own these charters will take 40% of the total over $2 trillion plus budget for public education.

And yet the leading study of charters done by Stanford shows that only 7% of charters do better, 36% do the same, and 47% do worse than traditional public schools.

Do you think this country can remain a putative democracy without a highly educated electorate?” Professor Koski asks.

I ask, WHO GETS TO DEFINE GOOD?
