“Better teachers” is a buzz phrase for “more government money”
Of course.
We heard this with the TSA unionization - they’ll be more professional if they’re unionized.
I’m sure that’s what is meant as well - unionized teachers getting paid a LOT of taxpayer money. This somehow will make the bottom 15% of SAT scoring college students “better teachers”.
I'm not sure. The DC schools have about the highest per student expenditures in the US. I sort of scanned the article, but got the impression that they couldn't plausibly claim more money would solve the problems again, so they switched their excuse to a cry for better teachers.
Anything but a realistic look at the home life and culture the students come from, and what behavior they engage in at school.
