Did the AFT Just Invalidate Paul Hill, Rick Hess, Mike Antonucci, Terry Moe, Peter Brimelow, Carolyn Hoxby, and a bunch of other folks?

Really interesting commentary in the December 13th Education Week by Antonia Cortese and F. Howard Nelson of the American Federation of Teachers about the reality of teacher transfers in urban school districts. The boogeyman for years has been that the transfer rights embodied in teacher contracts are alternately a) dooming students to failing schools or b) destroying the very fabric of America, but new research done by the AFT shows that the reality doesn’t at all match the perception. You can read more about it on the AFT’s website, here.
