Teachers aren’t against measuring progress they’re against tests that have been shown to not help the children but instead detract from learning useful things and instead encourage memorization. I recall wasting entire quarters in school learning “meta” subjects about the FCAT. Utterly useless. And biased towards minorities
No nurses are unionizing for lack of oversight asking to “make hospitals great again”. Asking for a better nurse to patient ratio really isn’t comparable to asking to rollback reforms and oversights. Complete apples to oranges comparison there

- throwawaysea 6y agoAgain, the nurses were simply asking for more pay, and when given a competitive package they asked for even more. The marketing of asking for better nurse to patient ratios is the same sort of bundling of concerns teacher unions perform, to gather support for their push.
