Phillip K. Howard’s WSJ Op-Ed article explains why our “teachers and principals are immobilized by … centralized legal dictates.”
Some highlights:
“Manuals of 200 pages describe the ‘rights’ of students.”
“…daily decisions made by teachers and principals are dictated by thousands of regulations.”
“One effect is paralysis: Educators will do almost anything to avoid yet another legal argument.”
“…principals must have the freedom to get rid of bad teachers.”
