#1 But will they stay fired?

#2 Miss Barbara,

As always, you speak wisdom. Perhaps a handful (fewer than 40) will remain fired, but the rest will be right back in the classroom, corrupting the 'young skulls full of mush'.

And likely those fewer than 40 will find that unemployment will pay even better than their old gigs.

#3 They will stay fired. FTA:

"Her effort was buoyed by an unusual provision of D.C. law that exempts evaluation systems from collective bargaining. In many other cities, evaluation systems are subject to negotiations."

#4 They will stay fired for as long as it takes for their union reps and lawyers to make a stink.

So maybe 2 weeks at most.

#5 Let's have a controlled study. The DC school system or sitting kids in front of a TV w/ Sesame Street. Who will have learned more after 13 years?

It would be a wash. Sesame Street is just as Left.
