The UFT and the NYC "skool" system are two heads of the same keep-the-children-from-good-educations monster. The UFT members care much more about themselves and the gov't-union lock on school $ than about the children. The leadership --- Weingarten was a teacher all of what? six months? --- encourages the selfishness. If both "heads" really cared about the future of the children they would admit failure and free up the money to be used in the way parents know better: educational choice via tax rebate and/or vouchers that include home schooling.
