New York City teachers’ union boss Michael Mulgrew is feeling victorious in what he calls the “war with reformers.” He should; Mulgrew and other anti-reformers are on winning streaks.
Problem is, Mulgrew and others are pursuing strategies that in the long run will prove to be losers.
…
Parents want the option of sending their children to better schools, and millions of parents already have the power to choose those schools. Do the anti-reformers really expect parents to give that up?
Mulgrew should enjoy his short-term win. It won’t last. Parents are not going to give up their choice options.
