Last Tuesday, Senator Tom Harkin (D–IA) introduced a much-anticipated proposal to rewrite No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and has announced that committee markup on the legislation will begin this Wednesday...Since it would be "for the children", there's no way for teachers unions to be against this proposal :)
For example, the bill would codify Obama Administration education priorities, such as the “equitable distribution” of effective teachers among schools.

Redistributing Teachers, In The Name of Fairness
Is it fair that the newest teachers so often teach at the worst schools? What if there were a federal mandate for distributing teachers fairly? Does that sound like a proposal that might be made by one political party in particular, or perhaps a proposal that might get a favorable hearing in a particular presidential administration?

Very easy to do this . . . let under performing schools pay bonuses. Done.
You're joking, right? Since when do teachers unions put the needs "of the children" above their own?
Yes, CT, that's why I put the smiley at the end of the sentence.
Darren, I can't wait for you to figure out a way to do the cute little <3 hearts in your writing, too.
