Showing the way

To the Editor:
I would like to congratulate UFT President Randi Weingarten on her efforts to bring true professional status to New York City teachers. She appears to be the first teacher union leader who understands that the charter school movement can enable teachers and their unions to run individual schools for the benefit of their students.
Once teachers have professional autonomy, we’ll see many more qualified people applying for positions as public school teachers.
I am a newly retired California teacher, but I was born in Brooklyn (East Fifth Street and Avenue I).
Best wishes for continued success.
Linda Mele Johnson, Long Beach, Calif.
