Let's face it, folks, we're waist deep in Bloomberg/Klein BS and it's not getting any better, and that odor you smell? It ain't roses. <br /><br />I'm more concerned about Obama (whom I voted for) looking to this dysfunctional, failing system as a national model, with educrats Arne Duncan and Michelle Rhee cheerleading all the way. I got out of the system after 1.5 years in a disaster of a school and it's one of the best personal decisions I ever made.<br /><br />But these kids, specifically our poor and minority students, are being left by the side of the road. It's going to come back and bite us all. It costs less to educate a child than to keep them in prison forever. Even many who do graduate lack the basic skills to succeed in college or the workforce. It's heartbreaking. And it's shameful. And it's also Bloomberg's platform for an illegal, and probably disastrous third term. The question isn't whether Thompson can do any better. The question is, is it possible to do any worse?elomb666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-18832730500169974622009-10-04T21:22:57.039-04:002009-10-04T21:22:57.039-04:00We all realize something is fundamenatally wrong w...We all realize something is fundamenatally wrong with how things are going in our classrooms everyday, but we are all cornered into supporting the same fraud. This is know as the ENRON syndrome, it worked for them for quite a while why not for another corporate style fraund on the people. It's all about the numbers and the data...make it look good and they continue to stay in control to work out the MASTER PLAN.
