While childlike Liam takes Checker to task for questioning the incalculable contributions of twenty-somethings, in Boston they're rehiring retirees in the wake of laying-off young teachers. And in this case, the local teachers union head gets it right:
Richard Stutman, president of the Boston Teachers Union, said that by relying heavily upon retirees to return to their old jobs, the school system risks never training a new generation of workers.... "Institutionally, it's a weak way to replace your skilled employees," Stutman said.
Hmm, teachers unions standing up for younger teachers over older ones? This is new.
