What planet are you from? Did you see 20/20 this weekend with John Stossel? With teacher's unions we get worsening test scores and demands for more money. The New York Teachers Union just got a 15% pay raise. For what? They're not held accountable. Yeah they get reviews but they all pass. I'd sure love to see charter schools and the education funds assigned to the student not the school.

I just looked up the NYC thing. It was 15% over five years or something. Three percent a year isn't great.

I know for a fact that test scores in some NYC schools are rising, but NYC is a special case. What works in NYC doesn't work for the rest of the country.
