Smart List: 60 People Shaping the Future of K-12 Education
“Increase Good Retention. Half of teachers leave urban classrooms within their first three years, just as they begin to have the greatest impact on student learning. Our goal is to stem the premature attrition of excellent teachers from urban classrooms by dramatically increasing the number and type of leadership opportunities.”
Are you freaking kidding me? Uh yeah, sure, increase “leadership opportunities”. Go ahead. You know what, I know what that means. You know what else? It’s a load of crap. Another non-profit do-gooder outfit. How many are there now? Evelenty million? Who ARE you people? Why are you meddling in MY profession? I don’t see this happening with fire fighters or grocery clerks or lawyers. God forbid, lawyers need help from non-profits.
And it doesn’t matter how much you can synergize this or leverage that or however you people can think of to massage your pillaging of American education. Some of us are on to you. The really sad part is half of you aren’t even self-aware enough to know you are being played.
