Black children in Mississippi are now performing better in reading and math than black children in New York and California-- despite having much highe

Where does that say, "means and methods"?

I may have used my words poorly. You don't think the teachers unions have influence over curricula and such?

No. In 32 years, I've never had a union rep say a word to me about curricula and such. It's not what they do.

Do you teach in a large blue urban area?

Also this pressure comes from the top, Weingarten and her NFT idiots.

 

[Unkotare]

Do you teach in a large blue urban area?
...

Yup.

 

[martybegan]

Yup.

Ok I stand corrected on it being in contract.

Now is there union pressure to toe the progressive left line?

Define "pressure."

 

[martybegan]

Define "pressure."

Memo's encouraging you present topics in a certain light.

Commitment requests to DEI goals during union meetings or emails.

Overall direction to support leftist candidates and positions.

Do you even read every memo or email you get?

What exactly is "overall direction"?

I know you probably dump many of them to the trash bin, but I am asking if they exist or not.

I don't know if I don't read them.

They concentrate on educating, not indoctrinating.

They don't have massive Teacher's Unions dictating means and methods as part of their contracts

No school district does as that is not subject to collective bargaining. The do it voluntarily not because of the contract.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

NYC teachers contract.

That is irrelevant because you don't know what any of that means.

Oh, they’re learning all right…..they’re learning that whites are bad, the country is racist, ICE is Gestapo, and that blacks who were never slaves are ENTITLED to reparations funded by people who never owned slaves

None.

This wouldn’t surprise me. Money doesn’t solve education just like it doesn’t solve parenting.

Democrats just love to throw tons of money at education so that they can funnel the money to other leftist projects and pay themselves bonuses

And also so they can publicly state that they "care about the kids" more than Republicans do, because apparently, =
