I was checking my Twitter feed on my new Storm 2 (you did read the above post, didn’t you?) and came across this link: Rhode Island District Fires All Its HS Teachers.

The teachers union balked when the school superintendent asked for 25 minutes a day work. The teachers were getting paid *3* times the median income of the district, and still had a 50% high school drop out rate. So, when the union said no, what do you think this lady did.

She fired the teachers. All of them. This lady has a pair of brass cajones the size of shotputs, and they go clang clang clang when she walks. I think I’m in love.

Now, why can’t we do that here in Memphis? I mean, just fire all of the teachers and start from scratch.

Too much effort is being wasted on those who don’t want to learn. Just get rid of those who don’t want to learn. Don’t give them a diploma, and they are not entitled to social services of any type. Let them starve. They don’t care about putting effort into themselves, so we shouldn’t put any effort into them either. I am sick and tired of watching the schools on the news to the point I have turned the news off. They try different flavors of the same failed formula and wonder why it doesn’t work.

Hitting the reboot button and starting over from scratch I think is the way to go.
