Tornado Alley (PROG)

Obama shows he is clueless at best on education at more likely he is another corporate shill for the prostituting our children for charters (ed 'reform') movement...

Here is one response I thought was interesting from a teacher of ravtich's blog:

"I would say I was a mediocre student until I got to college. I– I goofed off way too much" admits Obama in this interview. I wonder if he blames his teachers for his goofing off in grade school and high school? Because if he were a student today, and he goofed off and got poor test scores, his teachers could be deemed ineffective and in jeopardy of losing their jobs. All because of his own Race to the Top initiatives. I wonder what he thinks about that...
