Teachers Unions disappointed by Obama

All teachers should be evaluated based upon the performance of their students.  If their students aren't learning anything, then the teacher isn't doing his or her job.  The government has every right to demand that the teacher be replaced with someone more qualified.  For all the talk the NEA says about improving education for the next generation, they sure do a good job of keeping the worst teachers in their positions to the detriment to our children.
