All teachers are supposed to be qualified for their positon - if not they should be fired. Those pricipals who claim its too difficult should be demoted - then the rest will get the message and the paperwork won't be so difficult.

Merit is not an issue when there are layoffs because it's all about senority. He a member of a association(union)where accountability is second to tenure and stability. I don;t understand why he feels it important to attach special education since many government grants are attached to fully implementing these programs, besides the problems that arise from lawsuit(s) if these programs aren't offered. He obviously understands the process of teaching but doesn't understand politics at the SA adminstrative HQs. Also, I confused was he the sole winner of teacher of the year or were there 63 teacher of the years. Lastly, Art since you are very critical of anything SAUD attempts or supposedly accomplishes you seem to have given a pass to awarding this teacher this honor. Art,
