More Guthrie Gibberish

Nevada's sup of schools, the spectacularly unqualified James W. Guthrie, seems to think classroom size is less important than "effective" teachers, despite evidence to the contrary.

Everything he spews about public education are talking points of the anti-public education crowd from both political parties.

“In an ideal world I would ask that you lift class size restrictions” and let local school districts decide how best to spend their resources, Superintendent James Guthrie said during a joint meeting of the Assembly Ways and Means and state Senate Finance committees.

While agreeing that class size matters, “An effective teacher trumps all we know about class size,” he said before adding, “In an ideal world … I wouldn’t be concerned about class size.”

With that kind of attitude, Nevada's teachers are totally screwed.
