There has been much heated debate this year over bold changes that affect teachers, including dialing back pensions and union rights. These matters were candidly discussed by two high-visibility national education leaders who don't always agree: Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and Frederick M. Hess, director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Which issues do we actually disagree about? Can we do so in ways that illumine rather than obscure? Our two panelists will prove that it's possible. Watch this lively conversation, moderated by Fordham's ever-lively Michael Petrilli.

  • While my mom was working (shes now retired) i saw abuse after abuse after abuse of the teachers in public schools by the higher ups, then i saw as new teachers came into the schools lower and lower pay, all the while admins piled so much paperwork on the teachers they couldn't get the thing they were hired for completed properly, TEACHING, and now this. Unions are not the bad guys, corporations that are allowed to run free are the bad guys more unions would do this country good.
