So-called "Turnaround" Models

peddled by the likes of Duncan and Obama never were designed to be effective anyway; all this "reform" is is an excuse for school districts to cut expenses by getting rid of their most senior, most experienced teachers, the teachers students REALLY need, favoring instead Barbie doll bimbos who work cheaply and don't ask questions of their asshole administrators.

Facts aren't important to this administration, and nothing will change its neoliberal bent. It is probably getting its marching orders from the World Bank or the WTO.

"Turnaround" would work ONLY if students in a low performing school were replaced by students from a wealthier area. Getting rid of staff and replacing them doesn't solve the "problem" of academic "achievement."

It's all about the kids.
