Although given an opportunity to actually effect change, union leaders in LA chose instead to keep things pretty much as they were by refusing to allow Charter School operators to take over 13 of it’s failing schools. Once again the status quo is maintained and our children will continue to loose out on a quality education. The teacher unions are ruining our schools and yet they are allowed to continue with business as usual.

For the obvious reasons then this decision earns the LA school system the DODO bird award.
