media sold us out. Society blames us for everything. Now, our union wants to see us out. Is it any wonder I refuse to teach in the US EVER again?

Those in the classroom in the US. . .go to another country and teach. I did. Just let the "reformers" destroy the system.

Go abroad to teach. I teach IGCSE and A-level History and Geography in Suzhou. I am paid amazingly well, work no more than four classes a day and have students that do the work, follow the rules and parents that support what I am doing. As well as a society that respects teachers and administrators that support everything we do if we can justify it.

Leave the US. Let Michelle Rhee and Bill Gates destroy everything. When it's destroyed and people want real education, come back.
