YOU DO KNOW THAT MAY DAY CELEBRATES COMMUNISM, RIGHT? Wisconsin School District Cancels School After Staff Plans Mass Absence For May Day Protests

Ever-present busybody Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and a longtime advocate of government intervention, is very much in favor of community schools.

State-run community schools weaken families by assuming roles traditionally held by parents.

The idea of so-called community schools dates back to the early 20th-century Progressive Era. This plan turns schools into one-stop shops for families and is accompanied by so-called wraparound services staffed by—typically unionized—government workers. It blurs the lines between parents and the state, thereby undermining the sanctity of the parent-child bond.

WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN TO SAY THAT A TEACHER IS “CERTIFIED”? “Certified” by whom? I think we all know the answer.

VERY DISAPPOINTING: Supreme Court Rejects Parents’ Appeal to Protect Rights in School Gender-Transitioning Case

In schools, cameras would give administrators a window into how well an educator teaches, highlighting both effective and ineffective techniques. The cameras would also have a major effect on student behavior.

Employing a value-added approach for teachers, pay-for-performance, and classroom cameras would lead to better-educated, less disruptive students.

Perhaps the most important way to improve students’ educational experience is to elevate the teaching profession. However, where teachers’ unions hold sway, that task is extremely difficult.
