Just How Bad is Arne Duncan's Dept. of Ed Reform? BAD. Really, Really BAD.

Did you just get to the absolute GIST of the Obama presidency in ONE sentence!

>>>I think Obama could have been a decent president had he rejected and/or ignored his advisors and not appointed half, or perhaps 9/10ths of the people he appointed.>>>>>

And where public education is concerned: if you have *zero* background or experience in it, either as provider or consumer ( as is the case w. Obama), you hire someone as Sec of Ed who DOES have it; preferably a TRUCKLOAD of both.

Instead he appoints the only person in America w. *less* familiarity with how public schools work than he himself has.

That must have been quite a search committee.
