I would have to agree that the Board could probably get a list of candidates from NEA (National Educational Association: http://www.nea.org/, one of the largest teachers' associations in the country), but it is unlikely that any of these candidates would implement polices or programs other than those that are currently failing in the public schools. What is good for teachers is not necessarily good for student achievement and success rates. It's one thing to squeeze every penny and benefit you can out of General Motors and quite another to do it in public education. Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
