The teacher who was assigned the class by his own admission didn't know a thing about electronics yet he was assigned to teach an electronics class.<br /><br />This teacher should be applauded because most teachers would have baby-sit the kids for an hour, collected their paycheck and go home. This teacher actually cared that the students learned something useful.<br /><br />School administrators are compelled only to give a teacher a gravy job. They are not compelled to educate anybody.<br /><br />Is it any wonder that johnny can't read?Britt Storksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-27488728822949753142009-04-13T22:22:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:22:00.000-07:00For a full demonstration of the disgusting opposti...For a full demonstration of the disgusting oppostion to charter schools. <br /><br />http://reason.tv/video/show/60.html<br />Education Revolt in WattsMenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-13038069493937571242009-04-13T10:55:00.000-07:002009-04-13T10:55:00.000-07:00You nailed it - that is exactly true.

It's much easier for them to wrap children in red tape than create appealing schools.<BR/><BR/>Then when budget issues come up, the hypocrites, they turn one of their standard schools into a charter school to snag the charter grant money (and retain all their expensive OEA employees...) and somebody's truly innovative charter is squeezed out. Worst case scenario for them, they convert back to a standard school in three years after they've burned through their grant dollars.<BR/><BR/>And this entire vicious scheme hides behind promises made to children. Shame on them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
