Don’t know what world you live in, but your feet are NOT planted firmly in the real world. What is being proposed is absolutely incredible.

Ms. Finne is right on the mark; please read the info presented in the Legislative Memo link that appears in the story.

Loren Sickles appears to be a schill for the teacher union.

Who comes up with this stuff? There IS already no confidence in our education, and I see no avenues for that to change!

True to form she treats it as a zero-sum game, assuming that no learning will take place while teachers are out of the class to learn and collaborate with their colleagues. In addition she demonstrates a lack of understanding the value PLCs will bring back into the classroom to help raise those lagging test scores that are the holy grail of her and her ilk.

A cursory reading of both the proposed bill and Ms. Finne’s key findings, begs the question if she has even read the bill and the supporting bill report. Something I’ve come to expect whenever I see her name attached to an op-ed.

For those interested in making their own comparison here is a link to the bill that was so conveniently left out of the op-ed.
