California leads the way...

California leads the way ... in keeping ineffective teachers.  I've noted before the near-impossibility of firing teachers in California, usually in the context of a convicted criminal still keeping their job as a teacher.  The linked article discusses an effect that's possibly even worse: school superintendents can't fire the bad teachers, and can't keep the good ones.  Sounds like a recipe for success, doesn't it?  If you answered “yes” to that, well, then, you're a good little progressive, aren't you?
