Education Reform Discussion

Our class discussion about the American Education Reform has opened my eyes to many subject that need to be revised such as the issue of tenure. This basically protects teacher from being fired for doing a bad job and not being a teacher. Why if our high school students can see the faults in our educational system but those who run our education can not? Because of tenure we have no hope of getting rid of these people in order to change and enforce our new education 'rules' in order to help he students. truly i believe the best way to change to schools is to ask the students, the ones who must go though 12 years of this.

Reforming the reform

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=2247864001&sid=1&Fmt=3&clientId=767&RQT=309&VName=PQD
One option is for Congressional Republicans to hold hearings, stage more symbolic votes, and hope that the 2012 election delivers them a Senate majority, a new occupant in the White House and a chance at full repeal. But of course there's no guarantee that Obama will be defeated -- and even if he is, by 2013 health care reform may be more entrenched, and the Democratic Party more united than ever in its determination to defend it. (The filibuster, lately a Republican weapon, could become the means by which supporters of Obamacare ensure that it endures.)
