Vote NO!
Regarding the The Daily News stance on teacher evaluations:
Of course errors don’t matter. The only purpose of the new teacher evaluation scheme is to fire many teachers as quickly as possible. It is NOT about “teacher quality.” It is about creating high turnover to keep labor costs low.

With the exception of Juan Gonzalez, and a few others, the Daily News should be completely disregarded as a credible source of news. The billionaire’s club tabloid, serves only as PR and advertizing for the Bloomberg et al. agenda. The DN is nothing more than a manicured, cummerbund wearing, NY Post.

Teachers say that the Daily News’ journalistic integrity puts it on the fringe of acceptability and it should be closed down as an example of a failed journalistic enterprise.
Turnaround Teacher
I disagree. The Daily News has excellent Sports/Comic/Horoscope sections! Also their weather and traffic reporting is acceptable.
