the fact says students are doing alot better and bad teachers are getting fired ASAP instead of getting paid staying in the rubberroom while doing NOTHING. How ignorant you have to be when there's fact right in front of you and you still say she's bad, horrible, or w/e the term you want to use.
get over it bad teachers. If you have time to come here watch the video, and make nasty comments because you're probably going to get fired soon, well you better study more and get better at teaching.
Teacher "X" teaches 5 classes. He teaches 3 Algebra classes, 1 Advanced Algebra class, and 1 remedial class. His first four classes are okay, but his last class is utter chaos!
Why?
Is it because the class has 43 students instead of 35?
Or maybe because the majority of the students don't speak English?
Could it be that it's late in the day and the kids are tired?
Or maybe, just maybe, the kids are DOWN-RIGHT LAZY?
Stop blaming the hard-working, dedicated teachers!

I would like to inform you of a job opening at McGavock High School in Nashville Tennessee.
An Algebra teacher, Mr.Donald Wood recently was let go . . . Perhaps, this is your opportunity to prove that you are just not an arm-chair quarterback. I want to see you do it! 3 months! That is all!
Hey, if you think you're qualified to evaluate teachers, then, you should be able to teach, right?

Be sure to check out the video where the kids from the movie visit the White House. Not even the President of the United States can get these kids to listen to him! He's talking and they're fidgeting and squirming in their seats!
I'd like to see a reality show where Michelle Rhee teaches Remedial Math at a junior high in the inner-city! 5 classes with 35 students each! 5 days a week for at least 3 months! Then, a panel of education experts can critique her teaching!
i do not like that head of union guy, seems very skeptical about everything. change cannot happen if you do not believe in it. just seems like someone who wants things to stay the same and for them to get theirs first... not the children
Unfortunately, school advocates in the city say that Rhee is the most secretive superintendent in memory, as well as the one who demonstrates the least understanding of budgeting
I bet all of those Urban Americans are mad, they had to bring in a Korean to fix the mess they have made. Maybe, just maybe the schools will see some improvement......NAH, not any real improvement.
I am a Houston teacher who wants to communicate with TFA teachers. I respect your work, but believe TFA leaders are too close to conservatives. They blame schools and teachers, not our unequal society, for every education failing. This goes back to TFA's founding, when Wendy Kopp built an alliance with Union Carbide, whose negligence caused 100,000 casualties in India, and continued with her hookup with the Edison Project, which wanted to replace public schools with corporate schools.
Her Skills Prove that Credentials mean nothing compared natural abilities. Obama will do for America what she has done for Education in Washington. Natural Bosses can't be defied.
Michelle Rhee has a terrible outlook on education. She will no doubt ruin many lives. I predict that scores might get better, but children will not learn to be critical, self-motivated learners. They will forever be driven by exterior motivators, and thus will be blind to the beauty that is a life of inquiry and learning.
Rhee is basically telling the students, and you seem to agree, that they shouldn't be critical and take action against a system that oppresses them as it is. Instead, they should abide by the laws that subjugate them, and maybe a couple out of the thousands will 'make it out' as rappers or athletes.
It's like telling someone in a race to start 20 meters behind. Then, when they don't win, you blame them becuase they 'didn't work hard enough.' Schools should be exposing these inequities!
They would not be critical or self motivated anyway, seeing as they walk out of classrooms and fail basic tests in scientific literacy and reading. OF COURSE students need external motivators--teachers are meant to inspire them to be "self-motivated.". You are grossly overidealistic. Right now, teachers suck. Don't give me this high-flown crap about "beauty". Fail a reading test, and that stuff is out of the window.
@powereddrive You are full of bullshit. The UNIONs want to sit down with the lawyers, the teachers UNIONs do not have he balls to sit face to face with her. This tells a lot about the UNIONs character, UNIONs are a bunch of bureaucratic constipated bullshit.
@powereddrive How old are you? 23? Still live at home? Running up your parents credit cards? You cannot even stand on your own 2 feet. You do not even know how to live out in the real world & depend on government handouts. The UNIONs have bankrupt CALIFORNIA, since 2008, UC tuition has risen up 500%, to cater to the UNIONs, & the graduating rate for minorities are abysmal. UNIONs have bankrupt CA, GM, GREECE, & soon it will bankrupt this country.
The unions have not bankrupted California, the abolition of property taxes has. What happened in Greece is what happens when a country cannot control its own interest rates. GM is run by corporate and design idiots that is why they went broke. I am 23 but I served in Basra and left my life in Belfast to work in another country, what have you done with your life?
@powereddrive The Government of CA should run its finances as a business & not take taxpayer money because the government has no incentive to use it wisely. Not take tax payer money. That is slavery. It should sell products or services that the people of CA is willing to buy, not forced or taxed or pay for it. California is bankrupt by the UNIONS catering to ILLEGALS, which has bankrupt CA.
Typical American, your lives are so plush and faerie-like that you equate taxes with slavery. And if the government has no incentive to use its money wisely, than why should it be run like a business?!
@powereddrive PLUSH & FAERIE? Your stupid UNION & the democratic whores that has bankrupt this CA & turning this country into GREECE is the very definition of SLAVERY. The UNIONs have bankrupt the middle class & the private sector which funds your crony bullshit jobs(DMV, postal). You said "And if the government has no incentive to use its money wisely, than why should it be run like a business?!" is more reason why it should not be given anymore money because its is bankrupting this country!
@powereddrive GM was bankrupt by the UNIONs. Turning the state of MICHIGAN to a hell-hole. Just like Solyndra, the UNIONs skim off the top such that all the tax payer money is wasted on bureaucrats, lawyers, consultants, & lobbyists which get kickbacks from all the fat UNION contracts, til there is nothing left to even pay the JANITOR. While the workers get the pink slip, while the UNION bosses & the democrat legislators laugh all the way to the bank.
If your point is that unions are oftentimes not sufficiently democratic I will not argue, but GM did not flounder because of union decisions, that is manifestly untrue, and until you make a case and stop relying on capital letters for emphasis I will ignore you.
@powereddrive You are a moron, let me tell you a story when my engineering friends from MIT back in the early 80's. Can I type MIT in capital? They told me, do not get a job at GM or FORD, because they paid the engineers around $15/hr & their UNION workers $35/hr. Go work for HONDA or TOYOTA, because they paid their engineers more than their workers. My first car was a chevy NOVA, & that car was a piece of shit. The UNIONs not causing the demise of GM is LAUGHABLE.
Your engineer friends, who by the were probably using government money since MIT receives massive pentagon subsidy, are fucking liars, the pay system you speak of was nonexistent. GM stopped competing because their market share had been incredibly massive, and once Japan, whose engineers were still primarily Japanese, started crushing GM, the executives ran to Regan and he imposed ridiculous tariffs, allowing GM to continue to put out shitty product.
@powereddrive You are a moron, there is a big difference between being contracted by the government & working for the government.I do a job for the government, but I do not ask the government to pay for my pension, healthcare, or to pay me to do nothing, that is making the middle class people your slave! You are still swimming in your dad's ball sack in the 1980s, let alone sent out a resume for an engineering job. "GM stopped competing ...etc" what kind of gibberish nonsense is this?
@powereddrive GM will fail again.The new greedy UAW owners will continue to strip money from the taxpayer. The US Gov. now owns some 60% of GM & I have worked with the government for my contract job. They come in late almost 10am, than take an hour or 2 to get "settled" in, take 2 hours for lunch & "start to get ready" to leave at 4. Barely putting in 2 hrs of real work. How wonder our bridges, schools are a shit hole & UNION workers do not give a shit, cause no matter what they get paid.
the fact says students are doing alot better and bad teachers are getting fired ASAP instead of getting paid staying in the rubberroom while doing NOTHING. How ignorant you have to be when there's fact right in front of you and you still say she's bad, horrible, or w/e the term you want to use.
