Randi Advises Vichy


Randi knows a different version of this tune as she uses it to school the Vichy French on the glory of collaborating
see ednotes online for a story on the "help" she provides for D.C. teachers
Weingarten Agreement to Schmoke as Mediator Means DC Teachers About to be Screwed
Rhee, Parker and Weingarten Agree to a Mediator
D.C. Chancellor Michelle Rhee, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, and Washington Teachers' Union President George Parker just announced that a mediator will help settle differences over the shape of their contract.
Kurt Schmoke, Dean of Howard University School of Law and former Baltimore mayor, will work to resolve "outstanding issues" on the table, according to an AFT statement.- Stephen Sawchuck at Ed Week.
Agreeing to Schmoke, part of the anti-union ed deformer crowd ( I received an email with his background yesterday but can't lay my hands on it,) would be like having Joel Klein mediate the UFT contract. But we told the DC teachers to expect nothing less from Weingarten. Watch them be handed a contract and given 10 minutes to read and approve it before the contracts are collected. Count your teeth before leaving the room.
