P.S. A teaching assistant did not help me write this blog post, so please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors you may find.
Go ahead and look.
Okay, fine, so I’m not in the 4th grade:
Like most school districts in New Jersey the town of Montclair is facing some tough budget choices. One option on the table is the outsourcing of teacher aides.
The union doesn’t like that idea very much. So the teachers did what any reasonable adult would do — they told their students to write letters to the local paper opposing the move.
Now, now, those teachers didn’t tell the students to write “opposing the move.” They just told the students how awful the cuts would be, and then told the students to write a letter about it. Whatever their opinions might be.
With teachers and assistants hovering around, helping, of course.
The shocking thing isn’t that it happened. The shocking thing is: those teachers won’t ever understand why doing it was wrong.
