As a substitute of supporting a plan that places extra money and management within the palms of fogeys and states, Weingarten and her union are combating to maintain the corrupt failing D.C. paperwork intact—prioritizing their very own energy over the success of America’s youngsters.
For many years, the Division of Training has spent over $3 trillion whereas check scores have plummeted, in together with Democrat-run cities the place college students are trapped in failing colleges. Practically three-quarters of eighth graders can’t do primary math, and seven-in-ten battle to learn. However as a substitute of fixing this catastrophe, Weingarten and her union (American Federation of Lecturers) is targeted on preserving their political machine working—blocking reforms, defending dangerous lecturers on the expense of scholars, and demanding extra taxpayer cash with nothing to point out for it EXCEPT BAD RESULTS.
To be clear, statistics present that the Board of Training has failed at its mission of schooling college students correctly, and if we’re 100% sincere with ourselves, the lecturers should take a number of the responsibly. Nevertheless it looks like lecturers unions will battle to maintain youngsters failing so long as they’ve job security- whatever the trainer’s outcomes.
In accordance with a press launch from The White Home:
“Since 1979, the U.S. Division of Training has spent over $3 trillion with just about nothing to point out for it. Regardless of per-pupil spending having elevated by greater than 245% over that interval, there was just about no measurable enchancment in scholar achievement. Math and studying scores for 13-year-olds are on the lowest stage in a long time, six-in-ten fourth graders and almost three-quarters of eighth graders aren’t proficient in math, seven-in-ten fourth and eighth graders aren’t proficient in studying, and 40% of fourth grade college students don’t even meet primary studying ranges. Standardized check scores have remained flat for many years and U.S. college students rank 28 out of 37 OECD member nations in math.”
The American Federation of Lecturers has even taken the place prior to now that the lecturers union will battle for kids as soon as they begin paying union dues. And this conflicted group that’s now suing the Trump Administration. What standing in a court docket of legislation do these lecturers have when the Board of Training was created to profit students- NOT TEACHERS?!
This reporter requested Secretary of Training Linda McMahon her ideas on Weingarten’s lawsuit risk at The White Home.
Cara Castronuova- “Do you could have a touch upon the lawsuit being filed by Randi Weingarten?”
Secretary McMahon- “I’ve not had any dialog but with Randi Weingarten. A few week in the past her remark was the President needed to take schooling away from youngsters, which is clearly not the case. He needs to enhance schooling for kids. He wish to get these {dollars} much more {dollars} again to the states with out the paperwork of Washington. In order that’s our plan, that’s our aim. I might be completely happy to satisfy together with her and speak about it.”
The actual query is—how for much longer will dad and mom enable lecturers’ unions that defend trainer’s huge salaries and job safety (even when there are failed outcomes) to carry their youngsters’s future hostage? Why ought to failing lecturers be protected by a union on the expense of your baby’s schooling? If a trainer isn’t doing their job, shouldn’t they be fired—identical to in every other occupation? As a substitute, the unions battle tooth and nail to protect dangerous lecturers from accountability whereas American college students fall additional behind.
President Trump’s govt order is a wake-up name. The Division of Training has failed, and now the very individuals partially accountable for its failure are combating to maintain management. Will dad and mom and lawmakers lastly take a stand in opposition to lecturers unions which have no real interest in scholar outcomes? Or will Weingarten and her allies achieve placing their energy above our baby’s futures?
Youngsters come first. NOT TEACHERS’ UNIONS.
Keep in mind, ultimately GOD wins!
