"And teachers report to this MORON?"
No! Public school teachers report to that moron.
And this is the problem. There are way too many underwater basketweavers in education and they run the show. People teaching math in middle schools aren't often even certified in math.
And there are no lower standards in all of academia than primary school education. Not even sociology or even women's studies.
I know plenty of people on this thread say that they can't add fractions, but they aren't the chief educator of a major teacher's union. Every elementary school teacher is supposed to teach fractions. What is your kid enduring if his teacher has this level of knowledge?
I forgot to emphasize PUBLIC school teachers!
No, public school teachers don't "report" to that moron. Yes, I suppose he does lead the charge for those who choose to join his merry band.
