From Sound Politics: Are You A Fan Of Teachers’ Unions?

Filed under: Current Events, Education, Media, Politics, Public Debate — chr1 @ 10:47 am

Full post here.

Original Seattle Times article here.

The National Math & Science Initiative (NMSI) will not be giving $13 million to 2 Seattle schools and 7 statewide because:

“We got caught in the middle of the grant requirements and the collective-bargaining laws in the state of Washington that have to be followed.

The teachers would have received money directly and the union didn’t like it.

Surely they kept the students in mind….
