- @HappyTeacherLA Last I checked, Scott Walker isn't in a classroom. On the other hand, the teachers who took off during school days did. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA All have the right to protest. But if teachers want the credit for improving kid achievement, they must also be responsible. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA And from a PR perspective, it just looks bad, whatever your position on the issue may be. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #

- @HappyTeacherLA I'm not rich by any means, and to me, it looks bad. And if you pay attention to what is being said by people who in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA are different from you and don't share your philosophical view, you would get similar statements. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA Here's the thing: The battle over collective bargaining has nothing to do with pay. As I noted on Dropout Nation on Friday in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA teachers unions would still retain a lot of clout whether or not CB is still allowed or not. They have the campaign dollars in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA and they have the bodies to lobby both parents and legislatures. In states such as Alabama, where CB doesn't exist, in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA the NEA and AFT still wield enormous clout over salaries and the direction of education. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA This is the reality. You may not like what I'm saying. But tough. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA And if you listen to today's podcast and checked out what I said last night, I am not against teachers making money. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA Actually, a great teacher making high six figures or even seven figures is fine by me. They improve student achievement, in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA they do the work to get the job done right, they deserve the high dollar check. Most folks would agree. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA But if you want to continue an arrangement that doesn't reward good-to-great teachers, hurts kids and taxpayers, and keeps in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA your laggard colleagues on the payroll, then that says more about your ideas than it says about mine. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #

- RT @TCSAnews: An entrepreneurial model of education – Houston #charterschools thrive on competition.
#edreform # - @HappyTeacherLA I don't think that's excessive or greedy. Again, people work hard for their living. They deserve what a market can bear. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA That's the difference between you and I: You think in terms of class warfare. From where I sit, it ain't about class. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA As Gwen Samuel once noted, whether you live in Bridgeport or in suburbia, the kids get the same milk. And it's all bad. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA We live in a world of economics. Time is scarce, resources are scarce, food is scarce. Life is as much about in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA the management of scarcity and abundance at is is about anything else. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA I'd love to talk more with you, but you are verging on illogic and nonsense. You've made your positions clear and honestly in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA the conflict of visions simply means we're talking past each other. I'd suggest you pick up a few books on economics in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA Thanks for your thoughts. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA Cut the crap. I didn't say all that. Actually, American public ed is mediocre. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA There are good-to-great teachers, but not enough of them for every child. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA There are good-to-great schools, but again, not enough of them. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA There are a lot of poor-performing teachers. Whether or not it's 20 percent or 30 percent or 10 percent doesn't matter in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA They still get protected from ever losing their jobs. The same is true for the abysmal administrators, school board members in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA and the ed schools who train the teachers and administrators. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #
- @HappyTeacherLA Well, stop writing. I'm being a responsible commentator, responding to your questions. That's one of my responsibilities. in reply to HappyTeacherLA #

- @dangillmor Marshall's take forgets one thing: Police and firefighters get a sympathy vote. Other public sector groups do not. in reply to dangillmor #
- @dangillmor Walker would definitely go after CB for police and fire if he could. Plenty of city officials would support it. in reply to dangillmor #
- @dangillmor And here's my take, from the #edreform perspective: in reply to dangillmor #
- Yup RT @rolandsmartin: Getting caught up on the Carmelo Anthony trade drama. The Nets would be STUPID to trade 4 1st round picks for him. #
- @rolandsmartin This would also apply to my Knicks. They'd be better off waiting until the end of the season, when 'Melo goes free agent. in reply to rolandsmartin #
