Perdue is more aligned with the teachers' union than she is with either improving the learning performance of children than improving the lot of the truly good teachers who work with those children.

What she and her fellow Democrats have done for years (going back to Jim Hunt, the term of Bob Etheridge as Superintendent of Public Instruction, whose "task force" for improving education simply resulted in a bigger bureaucracy, and other Democratic legislatures) is dance to the tune of the union preservation of tenure, which preserves the jobs of poor teachers and fails to reward the excellent ones.

This move should anger every parent whose wages are being taxed or whose job has gone away while poor teachers are guaranteed large pensions and benefits at their expense.

Then irony is that neither Democrats nor Republicans go after high benefits for school managers. Secretaries in central office keep their jobs even as teachers lose theirs. What is startling when one gets down to the nitty gritty is how much federal and state money is consumed just in paper work.
