		<description><![CDATA[So what do you consider &quot;fair evaluation?&quot;  By the administrators?  By the parents?  By the students?  By test scores?  Tell me......I really want to know how, exactly, you propose to FAIRLY evaluate a teacher.  This has nothing to do with tenure; it have everything to do with trying to put objectivity on that which is, by definition, subjective.

You may get academically stronger minority teachers but most likely they will be Asian minority which will not satisfy the PC crowd. They are the wrong minority - the ones that do well despite racism and income inequality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, classroom disruption has a &quot;disparate impact&quot; on the white students. 
 
No matter what we do, it&#039;s &quot;Racist!&quot; to the race baiters. 
 
Meanwhile, the good people look past race to the content of the pupil&#039;s character.  And the misbehaving characters get bounced out of the classroom.  Problem solved. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not just a state issue. There is pressure from the federal level to end the &quot;disparate impact&quot; of disciplining students. (Guess who disproportionately misbehaves.) There is also laws penalizing employers who discriminate against job applicants who have a criminal record. (Guess who....) We address symptoms rather than causes. Liberalism is the opiate of the morons. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of racist, I heard on right-wing talk radio this morning (May 16, 2013) that a California public school district has prohibited suspension of willfully defiant students, claiming that, among other things, it has a disparate impact on black pupils.  
 
I guess they assume that black pupils are more defiant than other groups, eh? LIfe sure gets nuanced in the world of progressivism. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eva Moskowitz understood what was wrong with the educaitonal system and started charter success schools.  They outperform even the gifted schools and the first one was located in Harlem.  People should listen to what she has to say.  Videos of her are on youtube.  Her success has made enemies out of those who want their check no matter how bad their teaching performance is and from unions who want ridiculous rules that make them money. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agree. Schools are basically union shops. There can be great, bright individuals who love to teach kids and there can also be slackers counting the days until their retirement - which is typically at a rather young age. Teachers and school &quot;cultures&quot; vary. The larger culture - has changed schools from  places of learning to places where  many progressive leftist teachers and curricula indoctrinate kids. That&#039;s the saddest part of who is teaching and what they  teach.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You obviously do not grasp the Founder&#039;s intent that America remain a moral, as well as an educated, society. If we are not prepared to finance such a lofty goal as that, then we might as well close shop right now. 
 
Also...I am not aware of a single Founding Father who regarded Islam as a paragon of moral virtue. Unlike us, they saw it for what it was and shunned it...even declared war on it when necessary. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WOW! Who knew that racism led to better education?! I&#039;d say that&#039;s a ringing endorsement of racism! 
 
Wait...what? Charges of racism by incompetent educators amount to nothing but impotent pleas for their own continued existence, you say? That almost makes them sound like self absorbed worthless leaches! We&#039;re going to have to examine this a little more closely, I think. Something isn&#039;t adding up here. ]]></description>

I expect something like that from them, they have no respect for our laws vs sharia.  
 
But that said charter schools have had a lot of successes. And it gives the parents more input than most public schools too.

		<description><![CDATA[But isn&#039;t it also racist to insist that hiring better teachers automatically means minorities will be replaced? It seems to me that minorities who want to make this argument are necessarily saying that some races aren&#039;t as smart as others. Are they employing theories that they previously attacked viciously as racist to defend their jobs? So now these incompetent buffoons are attacking racism from the rock solid foundation of racial stereotypes and bigotry....brilliant. ]]></description>
