I must say, I'm really excited that WEAC has decided to change its position on merit pay, evaluating teachers and breaking up the Milwaukee School district. Making sure that our children have good teachers and that those teachers are compensated for their effectiveness not just their longevity is crucial to improving our nation's embarrassing education system.
That being said, it would have been nice if WEAC would have agreed to these reforms because they thought they were effective methods of better educating our children, and not just survival tactics employed to appease the angry conservatives in charge of the state government.
This cartoon also reminds me of one of the reasons I love being a cartoonist. I decided that the cartoon should be something involving a James Bond type scene, with WEAC under duress. Then I got to have the fun debate in my head over what would be the funniest and most visually interesting clichéd evil villain method of dispatching an adversary. In the end, I decided that a shark tank was funnier than a laser beam or a ticking time bomb.
In what other job, other than super evil genius, do you get to make that decision?
