AFT NCLBlog

The award for most egregious agenda-pushing exploitation of the recent AP series on teacher sexual misconduct goes to...the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence.

According to the ABCTE blog: "When the talent pool gets shallow, school districts end up hiring whoever is available. When HR spends the bulk of their time running around filling jobs at the last minute, the wrong people are going to slip through and get into a classroom."

Matthew K. Tabor picks apart this silliness better than I can, so go to his blog if you can't see through it yourself.

I found Saba's explanation in the comments to be another sidestep. I was shocked when I first read his article.

I've replied to him - we'll see if the dialogue continues.
