"If we get rid of the bottom 5% of teachers, we move up to #5" |
|
Bill Bennett just said this on Morning Joe.
Didn't explain HOW we decide who that bottom 5% ARE.
Of course, I didn't stay tuned to hear his explanation cause he started in on Rosa Parks and I had to leave the room to vomit.

4. And how is Obama supposed to do anything about this country when we have so many people in poverty! |
|
We as a society must fix poverty first or we cannot blame Obama for anything!

7. I've heard him say this... |
|
...before. I think...in his mind...he equates that with closing the bottom 5% of Title I schools. He (and others in high places) can't fathom that those 5% of schools have HIGHLY QUALIFIED and DEDICATED teachers working hard every day for their students.
His brain is too small, I guess. :7

Wouldn't want to waste money educating kids, especially the poor ones.

12. This sounds eerily familiar. |
|
Apparently, BB is not alone in his belief that purging a certain number brings the rest in line.
Bill Bennett. :puke:
