Sheesh...sheer genius. Now that could only come from one of those armchair educators. One of the wise looking in from the outside, no doubt.

It's that old irrationalism once again. I know the schtick. The experts have stewed for so long in their expertness that they can no longer be objective about that for which they are expert and that to which they've dedicated their lives. Maybe politicians or preachers can replace all the teachers. Maybe we need a crackdown on teachers since they are the problem or maybe a surge might work.

Now that's what we really need, less experience. The layman leading the expert, the uneducated showing those high-fallutin', know-it-all, smarty pants educators once and for all. The nerve of them thinking they know something about teaching. Well, we'll teach them, won't we?

Crass, ignorant scapegoating of "the elite" aside, haven't the last 8 years taught us that we need to elect someone smarter than ourselves..that experience counts for something?

Elect this man to get back on track once again. Uh-huh!
