Plummeting teacher morale in Seattle’s Public Schools — a serious issue
Here are some concerns I shared in a letter to School Board Director Kay Smith-Blum this week, after her disappointing vote in favor of Teach for America, Inc. I urge all members of the school board to investigate this matter of collapsing teacher morale, which is happening on their watch, largely as a result of the frenetic barrage of dubious “reforms” being imposed upon our teachers, schools and children these past three years under the current district leadership, and with this board’s mostly unquestioning approval.
I understand that we will not always agree. But I honestly believe that with full information about TFA, Inc. and those behind it and where they are heading with it and other corporate ed reform agenda items, you would have voted differently.
