>>Hey Thomas - how about taking on the G-d damn New York City teachers unions? They are the ones responsible for NOT teaching our youth.

And shave that ridiculous mustache. You look like a porn star.<<

It's not just the teacher's unions - it's that we allow the teachers unions to require useless degrees in education instead of concentrating on what the teachers SATs were and where they went to college and how good of grades they got in the subjects they would be teaching... then adding some education courses.

Well, you're right. I saw a study that showed that teachers are consistently the lowest achievers in academia. Not surprising to me.

What's the old saying "them that can, do. Them that can't teach."

How many parents demand more (teaching the basics) from their school boards, and less puff classes?
