As you all know I am a teacher--a lifelong vocation, to be
certain. I believe in the fundamental ideals of the American education system.
I recognize that there is room for improvement. I am baffled that we spend
umpteen times as much to build bombs and fuel the War Machine than we do to
provide EVERY child in our nation with a 100% world class education. That we
think paying Brain Surgeons 6 or 7 figures is logical while decrying the greedy
teachers (who will never see a 6 figure salary even after 30-40 years of
10 hour days and many weekends spent planning and assessing off the
"clock," and....) who educate the Brain Surgeons for wanting to earn
a respectable salary and live a comfortable life.
And frankly, I think Ms. Ravitch would do a better job as
our Secretary of Education than the feckless and pathetic Arnie Duncan.
Of all the cabinet appointments of this President whom I
love, Secretary Duncan is the most nepotistic and worthless.
