I love school teachers but they have gained far too much power for their own or anyone else's good.

That power seems to be draining away. Here is what happened out here.

California Teacher Tenure Laws Ruled Unconstitutional

My Dad was a school board member. They fought this battle every year one way or another and this was 60 years ago.

Some of my best friends are teachers, or retired teachers. But the idea that lousy teachers cannot be fired is a lousy idea. It always has been. Will always be.

What happens here is the practice of taking lousy teachers and letting them drop to the bottom of the barrel with poor schools, marginal students and so on. But those people are fighting back. They don't want those lousy teachers either. They also have considerable political power in California right now.

I am encouraged by this.
