I live in Florida....and this bill was weak....good in some areas....but lacking in others

First, this bill did nothing to cut the large number of administrators and non-teaching personnel that are infested in our schools. Remember, it is the administrators who let the teachers underperform and let the schools slide....I wish the GOP in Florida would stop catering to the admin and go after them too.....it would save the state so much money....esp with their retirement packages (much better than any teacher makes)

Also.....not a fan of tying teacher performance to test scores. No fan of the Bush/Kennedy “No Child Left Behind” with its big-government liberalism...and Ted Kennedy fingerprints all over. Scary that you would have the GOP acting so strongly on Ted Kennedy legislation. Standardized test scores are a Ted Kennedy legacy...its big government liberalism

Probably vetoed it as he will run independent...but it probably saved the GOP some state House and Senate seats....this bill was not all that popular

You cut the administration first.....you get more political support, and, you cut the school spending so much more. Attacking teachers usually backfires
