No Swett
* Now that this series of tenure stories is receiving its due attention, it would be a shame if it overshadowed this tenure story, written by Robert Gammon for the East Bay Express. Gammon notes that "the governor's plan to reform California's archaic and burdensome tenure rules was far from being too radical. It wasn't radical enough."
What makes this "the most unkindest cut of all," in Shakespeare's words, is that Gammon was a 2003 winner of a John Swett Award for Media Excellence, bestowed each year by the California Teachers Association.
Just my guess, but the tenure story probably won't make the cut for a Swett award this year.
* The Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning (CFTL) is at it again, trying to scare up a teacher shortage in California. I'm too tired to type it up again, just read "The California Teacher Shortage Has Risen From the Grave," which I wrote in December 2004 after the last CFTL teacher shortage report.
* Christmas trees win a round over "union trees" in Indiana.
* The December 8 Contract Hits is up.
