“In the next three years I think we’ll have maybe the worst teacher shortage in the country -- I think most of that is self-inflicted. ... Amid what some see as attempts to de-professionalize teaching -- in February a bill passed the state Senate that would make it easier to jail teachers for teaching materials deemed offensive, while another new program lifts teacher licensure requirements in certain districts -- some superintendents say teacher morale is at an all-time low. ”
More blowback from Gov. Sam Brownback's attempt to turn Kansas into a conservative fiscal wonderland. Cut taxes and wait for the economy to take off and make up the difference through simple growth. Oops!! Gee, it didn't work. We're $400 million in the hole! Cut, cut, cut. Endstory: the state is a financial mess, the economy is still in the duldrums, and NOW the schools are going into the dumper. Good job, Sam!! Next up -- Scott Walker's Wisconsin!
