If you have the stomach for it, there is a video available of leading privatizers Eli Broad and Michelle Rhee gleefully talking about "reform." Rhee just loves the idea she can break tenure laws and fire teachers after only two years on the job. Teaching is a craft which requires YEARS to hone the skill, but hey, that means having to pay full vesting of retirement and the like.
The "competence" is all about standardized testing scores.
Nobody in his or her fucking mind would go into teaching now that it has been deliberately ruined.

Ohanian and this writer are wrong: Reading IS a skill that has to be formally taught. Ohanian is one of these whole language types, a teaching philosophy which has wrecked havoc on public education and I argue is one of the reasons why schools are in the mess they are in now because it opened the way for all of the "reform" garbage.
