NEA writer Tim Walker is at it again. When it comes to school privatization, he can’t seem to help himself – he loves to stretch the truth (lie) when it comes to vouchers and charter schools.
By the way, Mr. Walker is paid big bucks for writing this kind of garbage, and your union dues are paying for it if you are a member of the NEA.
According to UnionFacts.com, his salary and benefits in 2017 totaled $116,449 while the average teacher salary was only $58.950.
Just saying….
The point of his latest article, “Fewer and Fewer States Escaping School’s Privatization Reach,” is that privatization of education is bad because:
“… charter schools … are unaccountable to the public …”
“… voucher programs … have siphoned off public taxpayer money to pay for private school tuition.”
The only problem is that he bases his entire argument on a biased report.
Listen for the details.
