It sucks when it's more personal, like when 's favorite basketball playing buddy (relevant because that's how he was chosen for the job, according to a cute anecdote) Arne Duncan personally came by to fuck over my school district even harder than ever did.
Heh heh.....
Obama and Gates decimated the already underfunded and crumbling public US school system with their charter bullshit. When nobody can read or do math in 20 years, they are the most direct culprits
I know it, and as a former educator, my decision to retire early is due in part to the damage that they started and the increasing helplessness that I and my fellow teachers around me had, forcibly tied to bullshit test-prep mandates that were intended to be failed because failure means even more testing and punitive privatization.
Gates and his fellow "education reformer" buddy (yes, he was involved in that!) wanted to screw kids in more ways than one.
