Board fires every Central Falls High School teacher

02.23.2010: The police estimated that 600-700 people rallied at Jenks Park in Central Falls Tuesday in support of the city's high school teachers. Just an hour after the rally, the Central Falls school Board of Trustees, in a brief but intense meeting, voted 5-to-2 to fire every teacher at the school in front of a crowd of 200 supporters and teachers. Rhode Island's tiniest, poorest city has become the center of a national battle over school reform. On the one side, federal and state education officials say they must take painful and dramatic steps to transform the nation's lowest-performing schools. On the other side, teachers unions say such efforts undermine hard-won protections in their contracts.

Well that’s a school board that’s going to be replaced.

This is classic union breaking that I hope put the school dust in several law suits. No wonder there is a massive shortage of quailified tea hers in the USA.

I think it is okay to say, that union or no union, those students at that school, they can't be taught anything. When 80% to 90% of the student body are sire illegitimate and raised by never married moms, no homework will be done and no learning will be done in the classroom regardless of how much teachers are or aren't paid. The teachers were put into an impossible situation. The school board and super intendent were also put into an impossible situation. Trying to educate those kids at Central Falls, can't be done. You can't teach monsters who do not want to be there, who are not interested in even trying to learn. Our education system is done for because patriarchal marriage is done for. Don't blame the union. Don't blame the teachers. Don't blame the school board. Don't blame the Super intendant. Don't even blame the students. Blame feminism for wrecking marriage such that so few children are raised in intact homes with married parents.
