The powerful political forces that have been skirmishing for years over the direction of California’s public schools appear to be headed for a multi-front political and legal war next year.
It pits the education establishment – led and mostly financed by the California Teachers Association – against a loose coalition of civil rights activists and business-backed school reform groups.
It has mostly been local vs state control of schools. The war is not ending soon, and the federal government with NCLB makes it worse. Its a divide between parents who know how to make education work and those other parents. Why have a family if you cannot devote your resources to your school; that is the whole point.
