Let them eat cupcakes. Plus why Michelle Rhee is lawyering up.

50. As a long-time lurker, I have read many of your posts

and I have noticed is that all you do is shoot-down any attempt at any type of reform.

In many cases, you make valid points. However, you always seem to shoot down any ideas in favor of the status quo, and if there is ANYTHING that is clear is that the status quo is NOT WORKING.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

I appreciate your experience, so you should be able to offer some ideas to make the system work better.

You tend to rail against the "blame the teacher" mentality, when actually most education reformers are trying to reward good teachers. Your reactions tend to make me think you were in the minority of teachers that simply "floated by" without actually contributing.

So, do you have anything positive to contribute? Or do you just wish to "blame" everyone else?
