Didn’t that LA mayor dork (the guy who took his wife’s name when they married) and the LA teacher’s have a falling out? :-)
I find these shortages of qualified American workers way too hard to swallow.
Deport the illegal aliens and there will be plenty of American teachers.
Which would be funny except we get to pay for it.
The mejor is losing his last name in the divorce proceedings.
He tried to take over the LA Unified School District last year, and the courts repeatedly slapped him down.
Berry Berry Good, Paco.
It would seem that diversity, like all liberals, is more important than science.
Agreed on that and your tagline.
He may have lost that battle, but he has not lost that war.
While the media has been busy crowing over the court’s overturning the Mayor’s ill-designed plan to take limited control over parts of the LAUSD (and other perceived losses), Villaraigosa has been equally busy ensuring his candidates win two more seats on the school board so they can take full control of the full school district.
Teacher’s Union Surrenders LA Schools to Villaraigosa! Mayor’s Win Streak Continues!
As an LAUSD alumni, I’m hoping that she gets sent to one of the Combat Zone schools.
I’m sure her opinions on diversity will change shortly thereafter.
Well, he is a one term mayor...the guy will be gone soon
The problem is the artificial beloved-by-unions barriers placed in the way of K-12 education. You would think that any person with a Master’s degree in math or science would be allowed to teach - but no, you have to pony up for 2 years of Marxist pablum known as education theory before you can teach.
We can hope, though with LA's high concentration of both liberals and Mexicans, I doubt it.
I’m sure her opinions on diversity will change shortly thereafter.
Also as an LAUSD alumni/refugee, I have to wonder if they are even made aware of that little issue, when they agree to take the $7000 "incentive" to work in those schools.
Kinda doubt it tho. Seems like they have their diversity flag tied firmly around their eyes as a blind fold.
The article plainly states that one lady is going to return after she gets experience....so they will be in the same fix in three years...
just a band aid.
LA is too far gone...and from what I heard in L.V. this weekend, they are on the ropes too!
I think many school districts in the SW are on their way to circling the drain. There are a few questionable districts like that in Phoenix that are mimicking what L.A. is doing, however the school scores are more in the dumps.
I thank my lucky stars I don't have a kid in publik skool, let alone the LAUSD.
