Klein: "easier to prosecute a capital punishment case than terminate an incompetent teacher"

Mr Klein said one of the lessons he had learned was that there was a need for "reasonable processes" to be in place to terminate the employment of under-performing teachers.

"Every child is entitled to a good teacher," he said.

"It's easier to prosecute a capital punishment case in the US than terminate an incompetent teacher."

2. Conclusion: It's much too easy for prosecutors to kill people. End the death penalty!

Thank you, Mr. Klein.

8. Its hyperbole... but not far from the truth.

It cost 300,000, and 2 years to fire John Freshwater -- just through the administrative hearing phase. He still has court appeals left.

He wasn't fired for being incompetent, but for burning students with a tesla coil and insubordination to the BoE.

I can't imagine how much it would cost to fire him if he were merely incompetent.
