Miami-Dade Teachers and Students Rally Against Florida State Bill 6

Teachers gathered at Tropical Park in Miami this morning, "sicking-out" from school - to protest against Florida State Bill 6, which if Gov Charlie Crist signs into law, mandates that their pay be tied to student performance based on increased standardized testing. Students throughout Miami-Dade County organized their own sit-ins, protests, and walk-outs in support of the teachers. They are urging Gov Crist to Veto the bill.
