I listened to Huppenthal's state of education address and realize he's got some major changes in store for our state. Sound's like he's intent on increasing charter schools, teacher and principal accountability, etc. but what does this all mean for teachers who are in the trenches? Our elem. school has already gone through 3 years of a Reading first grant and it was good in a lot of ways but there were quite a few negatives. A lot of teachers quit because of the tremendous work load added to the job with no increase in pay, and the very worst and laziest teachers are still at the school.

hmmm sorry - don't know much about him, except that he's never worked in the education field? When is someone who's actually worked in the field going to be in charge of the field???
