Keeping NCLB

This week Arne Duncan focused his attacks on teacher’s education, saying that “"schools, colleges and departments of education are doing a mediocre job of preparing teachers for the realities of the 21st-century classroom."

The teachers who teach in failing rural school are not bad teachers. They are teaching because they want to. The main problem is that there curriculum is set by NCLB. Apparently he was fouled too many times playing Harvard basketball he lost a lot of brain cells.

Arne needs to get rid of NCLB or else rural education will continue to be the civil rights issue that it is. The inequality of education isn’t apparent to this administration. We need to make them aware.

My next post will be a letter to the Secretary of Education. Now that the readership is educated about this blog I hope that you will read the letter and send it to Duncan.
