If I'm reading this right, and I may not be, the Calif. Courts will soon be telling Calif. School districts on how many "good" teachers poor performing schools have to have. From today's WSJ: The "soon" above is well down the road. This decision will be litigated and litigated and litigated. My own guess is we're at least a year and more likely several years from a definitive decision. Before we start discussing this very much, we need some more points of view on the issue. To take a WSJ opinion piece written by one of the plaintiff lawyers is hardly the end of information gathering. This piece pairs two known, serious problems in public education--some bad urban (and should add rural) schools and permitting tenure rules to keep schools from firing admittedly terrible teachers. They are quite separate issues and deserve separate conversations about best policy. My own guess is that this law suit was funded by right wing anti union folk who think they've found yet another way to undermine the role of unions in American life.
