After all, it is up to the student's desire or ability to learn. You can't cram that down another person's throat.

The "reformers" are a pack of liars.

"Underperforming" teachers are the best ones, you can bank on that, but they are the oldest, most veteran teachers.

The author of the piece is nothing but a goddamned fucking liar. It is EASY as hell to get rid of teachers no matter how good, bad, or indifferent they are.

Administrative law heavily favors school districts.
