| Sad failure of teachers and their union chiefs |
|
Editorial - The Seattle Times Washington state lost out on $13.2 million in new funding to help turn B students into A students. Blame belongs at the door of the teachers union. The National Math and Science Initiative would have funded efforts at a handful of high schools to increase the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses in math, science and English.Two Seattle high schools, Franklin and West Seattle, would have received $114,000 the first year, with more money from the grant in later years. |
