Deja vu: Another stillborn education reform for the people of North Carolina — a conversation with public education advocate and teacher Kim Mackey.
<p><strong>Deja vu: Another stillborn education reform for the people of North Carolina — a conversation with public education advocate and teacher Kim Mackey.</strong></p> <p>As Yogi Berra said, “it’s deja vu all over again.”</p> <p>And the deja vu is yet another public education reform effort. Yet another proposal which believes the solution to what ails North Carolina public education is lack of tasty carrots for teachers, and the assumption we have too often been spared the beatings from sticks.</p> <p>So, If you’ll give me a few minutes, I want to walk you through as to how we got to the present moment, and then what follows is a conversation with my friend and fellow NC public school teacher, Kim Mackey. Kim can fill you in on the details and shortcomings of the current proposal.</p> <p>(the notes for this episode are extensive and full of useful links -- links to better inform yourself such as how much better Alabama will be paying there teachers than NC this year, links for you to take action....you can find all of that here. <strong>tinyurl.com/interviewwithKimMackey</strong></p>
