Hosted by

Last week, LA Unified and the Teachers' Union agreed to reduce the amount of time that children will be in school — the fourth such reduction in four years. Despite a judicial ruling yesterday, the same parties are still at loggerheads over using student achievement tests to evaluate teachers.

Waldie on a diminishing vision of the Golden State. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the US Supreme Court, the Constitution and American politics.
