President David Sanchez and Dean Vogel are trying to hide the truth about CTA and our failing schools

The California Teachers Association is hurting our students, teachers and schools. Its failed one-size-fits-all approach to education ignores the huge differences between teachers. Parents and teachers know all teachers do not learn in the same way or at the same pace. Some of them are far, far behind in intelligence, education, and understanding of how kids learn. They should not have full responsibility for any classroom. Pay the good teachers double or triple what they're getting now, and put them in charge of several classrooms. Each master teacher should be deeply involved in several classrooms, guiding several beginning or slow-to-learn teachers.

I was doing some research this morning on products to help get our kids ahead, because it's true that sometimes the match-up between student and teacher can leave some children behind. Unfortunate as that is. I noticed that one of the companies I regularly use is having a sale on all their inventory...if anyone else can take advantage of this, it might be helpful for the last few months of the school year. They have great remedial products and literacy items for elementary level. Address is trcabc.com
