The LA Times makes it look like decent honest teachers, caring about children, are trying to take control of our government schools--that would be a good thing. Currently our schools have been run into the ground by the unions. So, this is a breath of fresh air.
Sadly, the Times is lying in the headline. "A plan to let outside groups bid for control of dozens of long-struggling and new local campuses has unleashed a formidable competitor: Groups of teachers from inside the Los Angeles Unified School District are vying to take charge of their schools.
At every location up for bid -- 12 existing schools and 18 new campuses -- teams of teachers and the L.A. teachers union are working nights and weekends to decide what to offer students and parents and what they would require of them and of themselves."
Only a single mention this is a UNION project in the article. The rest of the article is about how the teachers are workers this project to keep the schools a failure. Not a word about the political or financial work the union is doing. Nothing about the fact these will be union schools--not a whit of change, just a different name in charge.
Shame on the Times for misleading the public. Could this be why so few are reading the Times? Why it is a bankrupt property?
Do not be fooled, unions are and will be only for themselves. Education is a means to get money for their radical politics.
