U.S.: D.C. schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee drops hammer on teachers
- 261 teachers were fired just before the new school year
- 165 were cited for having poor classroom performance
- 737 more educators are on thin ice for the next year source
Barack Obama suggested these changes to the country’s educational system today:
1. He wants to tie teachers’ pay to their performance; if their students rock it in the classroom, they get paid more.
2. He wants to increase the length of the school year. But what about summer camp, dude?! Summer camp rules!
3. He wants more nontraditional charter schools. Why not, right?
