Florida Governor's Policies Challenged During Meeting With Teachers

The Orlando Sentinel (12/2, Postal) reports Florida Gov. Rick Scott met with Osceola County teachers, who "shared their professional frustrations...challenging some of his policies and urging him to promote Florida's public schools." They said "teachers feel unfairly criticized, judged and micro-managed." Scott "said he is a strong supporter of education" but "made it clearly he believes firmly that public education needs to change," saying that "the public views the public-education system as one unwilling to police itself."
