But, of course, this is all about the kids...

Screw up the future of America with our union jobs that have no accountability because we don't really care about "moving the needle on student achievement" as much as these karaoke all-stars.
Have a super night, guys and gals. Believe me, we'll all be thinking about you...

I almost choked on this. Then I said this can't be real. Now I just shake my head.
This is not surprising considering that NO ONE WHO WORKS FOR BETTER EDUCATION FOR KIDS HAS EVER EVEN BEEN A TEACHER. HOW CAN YOU BE AN EXPERT IN SOMETHING IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE IT? Would someone ask Bradford to explain his background in education and why he's qualified to "reform" New Jersey's educational system?
It's a sad day when these type of people are at the controls of future minds that will be the future. you have to wonder if we even have a future
