2 teachers at my wifes school were "allowed to resign" due to falsifying student logs. The system protects their own, which is part of this issue. It screws over the good teachers to protect the bad ones. This is a trickle down from the association that is supposedly for the teachers, but has done really nothing to help the teachers through this issue.

I saw that federal court is allowing the KY AG to continue to pursue a challenge to the new pension laws. Thats a good thing IMO, its a huge waste of taxpayer money, but its a good thing. If the new law prevails, we have a new system for new teachers, that gives them more control. (hopefully they revise it and allow current teachers to take a buyout of the old pension, and move to the new format)

If the new law is overturned, the old pension fund will not be funded this fiscal year by the state (they dont have the money too) so it will be another year of unfunded, making the situation worse.

I cant wait for charter schools, giving parents another option, it could be bad, it could be good, who knows, but more options are better.
