The standards for grade level success alone have changed so significantly that how he can claim excellent performance is beyond me. And since I don't personally have an enormous cash pile to fund everything from my luxurious home to my mayoral elections, I am not so comforted by the golden days of no teachers' unions.E.

The best teacher in the world cannot teach to a class of 60-70 kids. Why does the mayor feel that small class size was great for his girls, but it's not good for the children of NYC? He's idiocy is definitely showing.zulmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-64041753455899669852011-12-02T17:45:15.247-05:002011-12-02T17:45:15.247-05:00Thank you, Leonie, for speaking truth to idiocy!
