They have all these handy metrics to measure us; aren't they the ones who have failed the students? We stood there and said, yup, okay, you want me to teach whole english instead of phonics? You want me to concentrate on standards instead of the actual lit? You want me to incorporate some new method some guy from Harvard or Oxford? Sure.<br />And we did it.<br />And look what happened.<br /><br />Republicans say, oh, tax breaks'll fix everything. We had tax breaks all through the Bush years.<br />Look what happened.<br /><br />There ought to be, as part of the oath of office every elected official has to take, a vow to acknowledge the concept of reality: that if something is demonstrably true, you cannot say that it is not.<br /><br />Anyways, you're my new favorite blog.Jeff Pulicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557790577435036365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477669229969550311.post-15965600308752657172010-12-11T10:52:52.622-05:002010-12-11T10:52:52.622-05:00Mr Talk:
