Education Rant of the Day

I'll pick David Berliner over the likes of John Merrow any day of the week, any time of the year.

When you write nonsense that principals should have even MORE power than they already have, and also brag up the likes of Rhee and Vallas, then you are a clueless fuck about education and teacher "quality."

The problem is with the education hierarchy, that it is almost impossible to remove administrators when they abuse their power, while teachers have to take whatever shit is dumped on them. The LAST thing schools need is even more abuse by principals, who are invariably unionized, and, as one commenter at Huffington Post wrote, are "tenaciously tenured."

It's the power structure, stupid.
