No at all. Witless consistently speaks in condescending, elitist terms based on hearsay: (on a variety of subjects)
Too bad the California system doesn't make it easier to rid itself of tenured "teachers". We usually just wait until a teacher does heinous things for a few years, then fire them. Like after molesting students and ignoring complaints about it for three or four years. [end quote]
"rid itself?" "heinous things?" "molesting students?" Puleeeze!
I wouldn't bother to ask him to back up his silly generalizations because I have seen that when challenged he never does. I have friends on the local school board, and have been up close and personal in the education of a granddaughter, K thru 11 (so far).
I *know* how dedicated these people are and am familiar with some of the obstacles they face not the least of which is a culture that has (and will continue to have) more and more families where both parents work. I suspect the Witty one would like the schools to be privatized so they would *really* be accountable. Like Blackwater.
