Sounds like an excellent start. These public school advocates just don’t get it. Poor student performance is always somebody else’s fault — it couldn’ possibly be the teacher’s fault. Why would Scott put the people who caused the problem in charge of fixing it ? The mind boggles.

What was it Obama said ? Something about elections having consequences ? Why do liberals always think they deserve a place at the table when they are in the minority, but lock out conservatives when they are in the majority ? Their arrogance is stunning.

I live in Florida, and my girlfriend is a teacher in the public school system. The ones who were the most vocal against SB 6 were the teachers. As the article says, "Teacher pay would be based on students' learning gains, even though there was not yet a proven system for measuring those gains." That's just one aspect of it. Another is, in the business world you can change the people under you; in the public school system you play the cards dealt you. If the parents are not involved in the students' education, what chance for success does the teacher have?
To rush SB 6 would be tantamount to doing what we accuse liberals of always doing, acting out of feelings and not considering the unintended consequences.
