Have fun answering that.

everybody knows who the worst teachers are. How is it not best for the kids, to get rid of them first?

to funny your article has nothing to do with (a) they fire the worst, laziest, or keeping least-skilled teacher it's still all about seniority until it gets to the bottom of the list

but keep injecting something that doesn't apply

the way its written A white teacher would have the same protections if the majority of teachers we Black .. but again if the contract stated Race which it does not

right. the article
doesn’t mention firing the worst teacher, because per the contract, they must fore the white teacher.

I don’t think you understand what’s happening. i’ll
see if i can put it into a pop-up book for you.

it’s not all about seniority. it’s about seniority and race
