Unions, districts block progress in schools

There should be community outrage that kind, innovative and effective administrators like Lynn Lysko and Michael Brady were let go by Modesto City Schools. As our government designs ways to promote new ways to reach our students, the teacher unions and good ol' boy districts put roadblocks up every step of the way. Case in point — Modesto City Schools!

Talk to anyone in the know regarding Lysko and Brady and you'll find the only thing they did wrong was buck the (failing) system. There is not one reason given for their firings that isn't about adults and their egos. Forget the kids! It's all about the chain of command.
