Students support teachers, but face punishment if they continue.
Paul Krugman has an interesting article, Let's Not Be Civil, about the national political debate. It applies equally here at the state level. We are being told that changes are being made for the good of the state and we should not be fussy. The Emergency Financial Managers will only be used in the rare case. Yet, 400 are being given two days training. They are being trained so they will not be used. 400? Ready just in case, but their use will be the exception? Hmmm. Imagine all 400 being "needed" and what our state will look like. Two days training? Sounds like Teach For America, 5 weeks training and presto chango a newly minted certified teacher.
I'm sure Governor Snyder has our best interests at heart. We all just need to relax, let him tuck us in and get a good night's sleep. All will be well. He will watch over us and we will awake energized and refreshed in the dawn of a new day. We just need to be civil and let him be...uncivil.
