(88,117 posts)Those are the words that the reformers used to start their bulldozing of public schools.
No, most reformers are not out to "reward good teachers". They are out for profit.
Actually I AM part of the problem, a very very big part of it. I am a problem for reformers who lie about what they are doing to public education in America.
Yes, I do rail against "blame the teacher" mentality. It is stupid and ridiculous and doesn't get to the real problems.
Yes, since I have been in a classroom, because I know stuff about education....I positively absolutely realize that taking funds and resources from public school to give to charter and private schools....is an undeniably stupid and ignorant thing to do.
So yes, I am a problem. I am proud of it.
