Reply #172: Maybe I read it wrong; she's predicting the next round of lay-offs will include her

Which sucks, but that's why we should tax people at a level where we don't have to lay off teachers.

I agree about encouraging good teachers to work at tough schools, but I don't think terrorizing them is going to do it. I think it's just going to drive good people out of teaching. You *do* know the five-year attrition rate even now, right?

It's incredibly high nationwide, and I believe even higher in New York. Maybe if people didn't demonize the TFA kids so much they would stay longer.
