Why can't we get rid of incompetent Arne Duncan? [View all]
Does anyone here have anything positive to say about his performance ????.... Why is Obama so blind? As the wife of a second grade teacher who busts his ass in a poverty stricken school, I can say Arne Duncan's words and ideas are seen by teachers as a destructive force, degrading them and robbing our public schools to transfer money into Pearson's coffers.

Great quotation from the article:
"Herein lies the conflict that separates Duncan, Friedman and Pearson from parents and teachers. They think the solution is, in Duncan's words, "new and better assessments" based on the assumption standardized tests provide the best measure for whether our children are learning. Most teachers and an increasingly vocal number of parents believe that excessive testing eats up classroom time better spent writing term papers, conducting science experiments, or discussing literature."
