How dare Governor McCrory meet the demand of raising teacher starting pay in NC?

#MoralMarch Recap

Posted on February 8, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Anyway, News and Observer has just such a piece up today, entitled, Teachers’ jobs are getting harder. Miraculously, the lengthy article fails to mention Common Core a single time as contributing to the increase in teacher workload. Amazing. Continue reading →

Organize2020 Happy To Answer Questions.. Other Than Who Tweets For Them

Posted on February 7, 2014 by A.P. Dillon
