Maybe the Wisconsin teachers shouldn't go back to the classroom

Great wages and benefits for ineptitude....where do I sign up?

Via JS Online:

Reading scores for Wisconsin's African-American fourth-graders trail those of their racial peers in every other state and the District of Columbia, according to a national government report that delivered dire news Wednesday about how Wisconsin prepares its students.

Further, fourth-graders as a whole in Wisconsin are losing ground in reading while other states make gains, as measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the nation's report card. Only 33% of the state's fourth-graders scored at a level considered proficient or advanced by the test; the rest scored at a basic level or lower.

Maybe they can get a doctor to write them an excuse note. Your tax dollars at work, although I'm sure the union would say that these scores are an indicator that not enough money has been spent.

Certainly the parents deserve some of the blame as well, however they were taught by the same unionized teachers. Generations of failure. The teachers union legacy.

Here's an example of the new civility the left is encouraging.
