Why they're all up in Buffalo at the annual NY State United Teachers Convention. All 800 of them - at your expense. (They were elected in the 2007 winner take all Unity sweepstakes.) And know what they're doing? They're embracing reform. Oh, you know, the usual suspects. Things like merit pay. And charter schools.
"Obama recently pushed for even more reform — rewarding teacher excellence, holding teachers more accountable and promoting innovation, such as charter schools. Rather than considering those subjects taboo, we have been speaking of the same things."- Richard Iannuzzi, NYSUT President.

Three pillars of The Resistance – providing information on current ed issues, organizing activities around fighting for public education in NYC and beyond and exposing the motives behind the education deformers. We link up with bands of resisters. Nothing will change unless WE ALL GET INVOLVED IN THE STRUGGLE!
