Two Major Education News Stories
One story comes from California where a California superior court overturned laws related to the employment of teachers and, specifically, the use of tenure. The other is the defeat of the House Majority Leader, Rep. Eric Cantor. The tenure story is somewhat akin to the story on Common Core. Whatever your views on standards (CC) or whatever your views on teacher tenure (California), how we all got to this place needs some real notice. (As I previously reported, a rather long expose at the Washington Post revealed for all to see that Bill Gates, once he got convinced about Common Core, was THE driving force behind Common Core. It's not a pretty road. Same with the California ruling this week.) So about the California ruling, known as the Vergara Decision.
