Or simply listen to the rhetoric of Arne Duncan, and you know teachers and teaching are being assaulted all over the country. Tenure will be done away with, not that it was ever worth a shit because of how much the deck is stacked in the arbitration hearings, but just think what would happen if tenure were eliminated. Parents could run roughshod over any wimpy principal, and those who aren't wimpy are corrupt and devious, and teachers would have no recourse whatsoever.
It's a tragedy that the public really doesn't know the truth about our dysfunctional schools to be able to really reform them. Instead, what we get is this privatization-corporate jargon horseshit from Eli Broad Academy superintendents or a push for worthless charter schools by the likes of Arne.
