That's AZ for all teachers. AZ is a right to work state. The union is just a "grace" districts give to teachers. It has no authority, no power. Nada, zip, zilch.
Charters schools still have to perform, at least in AZ. They have to take the state test. They will get the state label. I'm not sure if they do AYP or not though. So it's not like charter schools don't have accountability, if anyone says they don't, well they are just ignorant.
As for incompetent teachers, some people just interview really well, but when they get into the classroom they are incompetent.
