Stimulus money for schools is good, but…

I was looking forward to losing ARIS, Progress Reports and teacher tracking. The UFT got on board, to some extent, with all of these, when the DoE brought them in.

But in recent months the UFT offered them up as good places for cost cutting. It was going to be gratifying to hear our leaders argue to defund them… Oh well.

In a likely tight budget, they should be the first things cut; we still need to make the argument.

Honestly, in a flush budget, they should be cut, too.
