#aft and #nea are wrong on Common Core and VAMs.
I support teachers’ unions. However, the AFT’s and NEA’s national leaders need to be to openly criticized. At the leadership level they are unable to counter the “adults first” narrative and they are complicit in the corporate takeover of our public schools.
- First, teachers’ unions have been absolutely horrendous (accept in Chicago) in demonstrating how collective bargaining benefits children.
- Second, the teachers unions have sold out to the corporate reform movement (Common Core and VAMs).

Thank you Pet & Dog shaming for the inspiration. I suggest you make your own as well.
