Thank God Jonathan Alter protects teachers when will he help out. Oh I guess he's done enough
LP - This is impressive as Jonathan Alter shows what a great supporter he is of education as he once took his fat salary and bought a bunch of kids a couple of pencils and a paper clip or two. What Alter doesn't express in this piece is who determines what is best for kids: teachers that are sitting beside them every day in class or one overpaid reporter who really only gives a damn about them for a three minute segment on television. I think the teacher should weigh in and have some more accountability on their public air waves. I don't think this MSNBC reporter would be getting a passing grade. The great man speaks at the end.
