No wonder Obama does not want his kids to go to DC public schools.

Don't we all just love government?

Students feel less safe in schools filled with guards, she said

yeah, the bad students.

But Obama’s kids could transfer their father’s vision of HOPE and CHANGE to DC schools had they decided to attend DC public school. I think Obama is proving what a hypocrite he is by showing he has no faith in public schools.

But hey, that’s how Obama is demonstrating that it’s ok for him to have CHOICE in where he sends his kids to school but that it’s not ok for others to do so.

Schools aren’t violent.
Some of their students are.
Schools don’t fail.
Some of their students do.
Guns don’t kill.
People do.

I can't imagine teaching in a place like D.C., Chicago, Detroit, L.A. or San Fran. I taught in a large urban school, but we, fortunately, had a no tolerance policy. We were tough, but we had to be or somebody would have gotten hurt. Teaching for this Chancellor would be an absolute nightmare, with her touchy-feely attitude. To many administrators are ivory tower dwellers.

Liberal idealism in education is a complete failure. A complete overhaul of education is in order.

It is not a case of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”. The bathwater is filthy and the baby has died.
