Hi, all. Here are a couple of interesting articles about a recent "manifesto" for educational reform written by Joel Klein, Michelle Rhee and others published in _The Washington Post_. I thought you might be interested in how these opinion pieces argue against the notion that lack of teacher "accountability" and competence are the problem with education today.

This makes me angry beyond belief. I'm glad someone is sticking up for teachers, but the fact that it has to be done is so disappointing.
