re: #310 alexknyc

We have social studies teachers here in NYC without basic understandings of economics or geography.

I’ve been at conferences and classes with history teachers who would fail the New York State Regents exam in history.

I don’t know what the answer is but I do know that protecting incompetent teachers screws our kids.

If a school system can’t shake off an incompetent, non-fixable teacher, that is a management failure, not a union failure. Get better administrators who know how to use their vast advantages.
