Teachers Rally Again Tonight at the State Capitol « BLOGCEA: "We were encouraged tonight as House Majority Leader Brendan Sharkey told teachers that he and his colleagues are concerned about the “scale, speed, and scope” of the governor’s reform proposal “in ways that are very much untested.”

Sharkey addressed 800 teachers as they rallied at the State Capitol to urge legislators to get reform done right. “We’ve heard you,” Sharkey told the teachers assembled. He explained that he and a handful of other top officials tonight are working on revisions to Substitute Bill 24, the alternative to the governor’s proposal that was approved by the Education Committee in late March.

According to Sharkey, the job of that handful of people is to make sure that the education reform that ultimately gets enacted does not happen “too fast, too big, or too quickly.” Sharkey continued, “We all care first and foremost about the kids.”

That theme of “students’ best interest” was sounded last night and tonight by teachers."
