So this is what happens when you want to change a system? No wonder education has been a mess for so long. I’ve been a supporter of Obama and of Dems, and I’ll be unspeakably bitter if they don’t step up to the plate and remember that their constituents in education are kids, not teachers’ unions.
They won’t get opportunities like this more than a couple of times before reformers say the hell with it. I just hope the ‘union leaders’ quoted by the Washpost below are wrong that they have Obama and the Dems in their pocket.
“Privately, union leaders said they regarded the chances of the District securing a New Orleans-style state of emergency from the federal government as remote, given Obama’s victory and the heavy Democratic margins in congressional elections Nov. 4.”
