I May Sit Out 2012

unless somebody runs against this president in the primaries who is actually a Democrat.  I am SO sick and tired of the public school trashing by an alleged Democrat who hasn't a clue about public education but is simply repeating talking points promoted by the likes of Bill Gates and "Democrats" for Education Reform.

Note the comment at the beginning of the link.  Instead of feeling shame over their likely driving a beloved teacher to suicide, the L.A. Times encourages parents to find out what an individual teacher's ratings are by doing a database search.  

Only an idiot without any experience teaching children would call for a longer school day or year.  Kids are wiped out by 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon.  This talk is nothing but blather by a business community who believes schools should operate like businesses and believes teachers don't do anything without any idea of how exhausting and labor intensive teaching really is.
