Excellent... the arrogance of unions reaches everywhere... first of all, teachers should not have unions, their focus should be on teaching and not on how much they can squeeze out of the educational system for themselves... salaries should be based on merit as it should in all careers and businesses... but, try telling that to a demohack...

The union stance is wrong. Without change, things remain the same...what a shame they were against the following very reasonable conditions. the six conditions Gallo said were crucial to improving the school. The conditions are adding 25 minutes to the school day, providing tutoring on a rotating schedule before and after school, eating lunch with students once a week, submitting to more rigorous evaluations, attending weekly after-school planning sessions with other teachers and participating in two weeks of training in the summer.

Someone will have to step in and lead if obama can't... By Jeffrey H. Birnbaum Whether we realize it or not, Washington has come to a standstill and at a very dangerous time.

Yet the problems the country faces are large and growing. In many ways, there's a vacuum at the top that no one knows how to fill. washingtontimes.com GZ
