Superman and the Villain

or hypocrisy, depending on how you look at it.

My School District is a district in need of improvement.

A state requirement for districts like us is that we must provide

parents with school choice.

Since we're not big enough to have multiple schools, the district MUST

contract with an outside agency to provide tutoring services.

Our district hired Sylvan Learning.

Guess who Sylvan is hiring to provide these services?

MySD's teachers.

So, in order to save our students from our obviously failing teachers,

we hired a company who is hiring our teachers.

Of course, all the profit goes to Sylvan instead of being used to provide more services, but hey,

it's about the kids, right?

(Oh and all of Sylvan's employees are part-time and the hourly rate is $5 less than MySD's)

So, I guess public school teachers are both Superman and the villain)
