		<description>&quot;The state’s largest teachers union filed a complaint  over a program that rewards teachers for high scores on college admissions tests, saying the “Best and Brightest” bonuses discriminate on the basis of age and race.&quot;

It would be nice to know what the college admission test scores were for these groups, as compared to the others, to see whether the complaint is valid or not.</description>

		<description>Dear John,
Did you receive your education in a public school or a private one? Obviously your lessons did not work for you, since you don&#039;t know when to use possessive pronouns, when to use &quot;your&quot; and &quot;you&#039;re,&quot; and when to use &quot;there&quot; and &quot;their.&quot;

You have no idea what the Teacher&#039;s Union is fighting for. As a union member,    I do not agree that this lawsuit should be based on race, but I do agree about the age discrimination part of the lawsuit. There are so many ways that teachers can be rewarded for their diligence in education our children besides a stupid ACT score.  One way is specialized degrees.  Do you have any idea what is happening know in education? Anyone with a four-year degree can go and take a certification test and be &quot;qualified&quot; to teach our children.  This is crazy!  My child has some teachers with hotel management degrees.  Let&#039;s reward and compensate those teachers who see the necessity of furthering and specializing in various fields!</description>

		<description>The teachers union wants the state to just (give) this money to the teachers, because it will help their bottom line, I&#039;m not sure how it is set up, but without a doubt the teachers pay dues and some type of work assessment and may be based on percentage gross income etc.

If your willing to make the sacrifices their are good private schools and homeschooling is a better option now days.</description>
