I got kids in my ninth grade classroom at the charter school who didn’t know what a fucking noun was. They were coming from a—-hey—-charter school with a very good reputation.

When I talked to my principal, who used to work there, he said that yes, there had been some concern that she wasn’t doing much grammar, and mostly had the kids read books and write reports about them, “but she’s an EXCELLENT teacher. You can hear a pin drop in her room.”

That is how people who can’t do eighth grade math last year in, year out. Not because of the unions. Because administrators will keep someone like that on and hold them up as a role model, because you can hear a pin drop in their classrooms, and the children love them.
