The Miami Herald | 02/28/2004 | Our teachers are warriors, not terrorists

and a good editorial with a nice finish:
Educators, however, are increasingly critical that such reform places too much emphasis on the wrong things. They have loudly complained that the administration has not put its money where its mouth is. And so, the teachers' union, which has sought changes to the law, plans to sue over funding and how the law is enforced.

"Maybe in Paige's book, this kind of dissent makes people terrorists. Teachers, though, would probably say that what the 2002 law does is send warriors off to battle without the proper planning or the necessary backup.

Then again, aren't we already doing that halfway around the world?"
