I vote neither. Polarization leads to tribalism, fragmentation and dissolution. One of the stronger SLC high school reform projects in an urban setting that I have visited as a technical assistance provider had strong support from union leadership in collaboration with district and school leadership. On the other hand, in another district the teacher union and the district saw one another as quid pro quo adversaries and reform efforts suffered. Collaborative leadership between management and labor at American Airlines seems to have broken new ground in coming together to save an airline from bankruptcy. Can we in public schools afford to do less? The free marketeers are waiting in the wings....
