’Teacher of the Year’ gets pink slip amid budget cuts.
This is the line that really gets me: “A district spokesman told KXTV the teacher layoffs were based on seniority, not performance, and mandated by the state.”
Now… does that make sense to you? You think maybe this whole teacher-seniority thing should be re-evaluated? Most companies in the private sector keep employees based on performance – and they are successful. And our public school system? Ehhh, not so much…
