The one problem no one addresses is what happens to children with special needs or behavioral problems? These private and charter school can choose which students they will take. That will obviously the test results and also make it easier for teachers to teach. Public schools accept all children and that ultimately affect the classrooms.
@handiemom You are wrong Charter schools cannot choose which ones they take. By law they take everyone who applies and if there are too many then they pick students randomly. Public schools and chartered schools have the same ration of special needs children.
The IMPACT evaluations are BIASED and lead to FAVORITISM ! Mean-spirited and UNFAIR!
The majority of the teachers fired were OLDER, BLACK WOMEN who had a vested interest in the community. They were fully credentialled and had years of experience.
They were replaced with YOUNG, WHITE, inexperienced kids who were temporary "slumming" through the ghetto.
BLATANT DISCRIMINATION and OUTRIGHT RACISM!
Michelle Rhee has NO RESPECT for teachers, and often refers to them with disdain!
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?
You wanna know what else is crazy? The public isn't allowed to see the proposed teacher contracts before the Board votes for it. The public doesn't get to suggest changes, speak their opinion, suggest addtions...that ability is taken from the public! We have Teacher retirees and spouses of teachers on Boards. It is as if the PUBLIC is kept OUT on purpose so they can create a perfect world for THEM, not the kids. The public doesn't even know all the Committees that exist let alone participat
As parents, we can't demand better schools when we do not know what better is! Some parents have lived in one schools district, have not visited others. Parents need educated on what better schools should look like then we will know what to fight for!
If Obama wanted to help fix schools, he would not have made children Race for Attention!
Do you think a POLICE OFFICER working in Oakland, Compton, Watts, or East L.A. has the SAME LEVEL of STRESS and PRESSURE, as cop in Beverly Hills?
Do you think WALKING along RODEO DRIVE is EQUAL to WALKING ALONG 54TH AND CRENSHAW?
A policeman friend of mine went to his wife's Back-to-School-Night. Imagine his surprise when he realized he had PREVIOUSLY ARRESTED half of the parents in attendance!
TIP FOR NEW TEACHERS IN THE INNER-CITY: "DUCK, those aren't FIRECRACKERS!"
I have a hard time believing that anyone is evil enough to give this panel discussion a "thumb down" rating, but I guess Union folks can be like that...
Magnet schools are the ones who choose the students they accept...

If he REALLY CARED about the kids, he would DONATE all PROCEEDS from this MOVIE to the CHILDREN! He would PAY their TUITION for a PRIVATE SCHOOL?
That is if any PRIVATE SCHOOL will accept them? Most private schools are very selective on who they accept in their schools.
Blaming the TEACHERS is akin to a FAT LADY blaming her WEIGHT WATCHER'S counselor!
Kids don't pay attention and don't do their homework! Then, wonder why they fail? Duh?

@MsJanetWood is the movie blaming teachers or the teachers unions?
