A better solution would be to make the districts more inclusive. That won't happen quickly or easily, but it's the path that will retain public education.

Because, I once taught in a district where teachers had no power of their own and the administration definitely Did As They Pleased. But, maybe I am just talking about a different ball of wax. Curious Mr Greene: is THAT a ball of wax you would ever want to take on?Beth Waleskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330090329660533393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-70118284400543181212020-11-02T13:47:16.159-05:002020-11-02T13:47:16.159-05:00Gates is less interested in choice than in systems...Gates is less interested in choice than in systems, but his preference generally seems to be that the humans serve the system rather than having the system serve the humans.
