Union admits teaching a problem but wants teachers to keep jobs, anyway!

This from WDRB:

“LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The President of the Jefferson County Teachers Association admits ineffective teaching troubled Myers Middles School, but says those teachers should keep their jobs.”

This would not happen if Myers were a charter school. In charter schools principals have the authority to get rid of poor performing teachers – they don’t stick around forever, under-serving students.
