I do not think it is reasonable to call these proposals "constructive" or claiming that maybe they need some "tweaks". I think this is not remotely in the ballpark. It seems to me a figleaf designed to sap any momentum for significant reform.

The idea that it should take a year plus 100 days to fire a teacher who is teaching poorly should be preposterous. Would any of us accept a system where the people who work for us can't be replaced in less than 465 days?

I agree with the idea that a vindictive vice-principal shouldn't be able to fire teachers on a whim. There should be an appeals process. It could take a few weeks.

To call this a step forward or a cooperative signal, reminds me of this: Bush Vows To Eliminate U.S. Dependence On Oil By 4920
