The Teacher's union is here to stay. That's why razor wire tops all the chain link fences surrounding LAUSD District Schools.

Gates gave $7.4 million to be distributed among four L.A. Schools in 2004.
Gates Foundation donates $7.4 million to LA schools
Thanks Gates foundation, that is nice.
If only you could remove the Teacher's union.
Where are all the complaints and criticisms? Is Free Republic broken or something?
They are not held accountable and are failing left and right.
They are going to cause vouchers to eventually be given out.
Plus the teacher's union are such a bunch of jerks, the ONLY reason they like all the illegals is to grow their job and power.
Are we left to assume he wasn't happy with the return on his '04 investment?
Well, I appreciate their concern and their efforts but that gives a whole new meaning to "pouring good money after bad".
I thought teachers didn't were the smartest people in the world....why would they need more "training"?????
I thought the teachers were the smartest, most brilliant people on the earth....why would they need more "training"?
anyone know if the Gates foundation has ever given anything to any kind of veterans charity of any kind?
You're probably right. But there are already people saying that vouchers may make things worse. LAUSD is too big, powerful and corrupt not to have a contingency plan in case of a voucher situation.
They'll get their money as they always have, by Messrs. Hook and Crook.
LOL, that's a very good guess.
It still looks good to his lib friends yet it is just pocket change from his Foundation. One might even say it's kind of a Win® Win® situation.
Lol, yes.
Maybe deck chairs-Titanic, sow's ear-silk purse might also apply.
I am sure the kids do badly because Mexico uses the metric system.
I was starting to get a little worried there.
I don't post often at this forum, but I just couldn't resist:
The Gates Foundation - re-arranging tomorrow's deckchairs .....TODAY!
Only Interstate in US labeled for metric system
We got rooked there, didn't you hear? The dollars from Lottery profits pouring into the school system which were promised instead went to buy out the same amount out of the California State Budget.
Where California had money from tax dollars allotted to schools figured into the State budget, instead they took Lottery profits and just traded in the Lottery profits and traded out tax dollars school allotments.
Then they took the tax dollars school allotments which used to be set aside for schools and wasted them somewhere else.
Ya know it costs a lot of money to shut down hospital ERs, and let the roads go to seed. Hmph, Lottery dollars, right.
