re: #270 researchok

Double edged sword.

We have science and math teachers here in NC who do not know their subject matter- and they laugh about it, knowing they can’t get fired.

LVQ, the political climate is one thing. That we’re not teaching our kids is a whole other problem.

We have social studies teachers here in NYC without basic understandings of economics or geography.

I’ve been at conferences and classes with history teachers who would fail the New York State Regents exam in history.

I don’t know what the answer is but I do know that protecting incompetent teachers screws our kids.
