(3,888 posts)obama has been a disaster for public education.
i fear it will be the worst looking aspect of his "legacy".
the charters he supports not only drain public funds from those who need them most but are also re-segregating the school populations around the nation.
obama is smart enough to see these truths but clearly he has not taken the time to find out anything about his misguided promotions.
he literally cheered when that RI town fired all of its teaching staff.
what a spit in the face?
on this issue, obama is as clueless as romney is when speaking to the black community.
when i vote for obama in november it will be one of the hardest compromises i have ever faced, since (as a public school teacher) it will feel like endorsing my own death warrant.
