We got a very glossy, pretty brochure in the mail about this and my antennae immediately went up. I have been trying to look up information about this group Texans for Excellence in the Classroom and haven't had much success. I wonder if they are connected to the movement to try and expand the charter schools in Texas? They scare me when they do not list who they are made up of and give some basic information as to their political slant (which we all know is going to be very pro-business, pro-Republican)! Thanks for your input!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-50672363069727444652007-03-11T22:34:00.000-05:002007-03-11T22:34:00.000-05:00So if you are a walking idiot and/or coach and are...So if you are a walking idiot and/or coach and are assigned bright students, you get the better pay. If you are a good teacher but are assigned students who have resisting learning and imitating rocks down to a fine art, it's just tough shucks, huh? Well, when we quit electing our educational failures, maybe Texas legislators will begin to get some respect for educators and actually consider them as professionals. They consider nail technicians professionals, but not teachers. Isn't that sad? Isn't that pathetic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
