“I equate it to this: it’s as though our teachers have just finished climbing Mt. Everest and now they’re being asked by the state, we’re going to put 50 more pounds in your backpack; we’re going to reduce the amount of oxygen that you get; we’re going to tell all those Sherpa guides, you’re fired; you’re on your own and you need to make it up the mountain in half the time. That’s not fair and we need the state to either put up or shut up. If they’re going to raise the standards, then they need to give us adequate funding.” -John Kelly, superintendent in the Houston area
