Well, one would hope.
Sadly, that doesn’t always (usually?) seem to be the case. From Detroit… Detroit News Editorial: “Detroit Federation of Teachers should make school district a model of change.“
In an editorial board interview this week, he noted that the current teacher contract has about 43,000 words in it — none of which includes the phrase “student achievement.”
Sad, but not entirely surprising.
The Editorial Board of the Detroit News adds, “That kind of contract must be replaced.”
And they’re absolutely right. Let’s put the focus back on the kids- and let’s expect them to succeed.
