This is incredibly frustrating, but who can say they didn't see it coming? Contract negotiations between Michelle Rhee and the DC Teachers Union have been going on for 11 months now, and I'm proud of her for not backing down from doing what she thinks is right.
She's still going to get rid of the inept and incompetant teachers - but its really too bad for all the amazing, dedicated teachers in the District. They're not going to see those bonuses and pay raises that they so deserve. I'm angry for them, and I don't even work here yet! Here's this morning's article by Bill Turque of the Washington Post.

I was a little encouraged by the optimism in this op-ed in the Post, and wanted to include it as well. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/02/AR2008100203463.html
