It should be interesting to see how the asbestos fiasco in Philly schools plays out. The state reform commission that ran the district until a year ago tried to make teachers pay more for their healthcare. The teachers’ union refused, of course.

Hope they don’t find out about my magic beanstalk and the goose that lays the golden eggs!!
