Hmm, maybe the fact that she actually has a higher education plan?
When she embraces school choice, and merit pay on steroids combined with firing incompetent teachers, at least for those trapped in down market zip codes where the educational choices are all bad, get back to me.
If the only issue that mattered out there were secondary education policy, and competence and temperament and so forth was something one felt free to ignore (it obviously isn't), I would vote for Trump in a heart beat. This is a really good example of why it is most unwise to be a one issue voter, now isn't it?
And a fair measure of teacher competence is... what exactly? More standardized tests? Let's bog down teachers with the task of boosting artificial and unfair student metrics so they have even less time to, you know, teach them curriculum. And deny them a dignified income so they're also struggling to make ends meet.
The whole "incompetent teacher" canard ignores the real problem, which is teachers and schools having no funds to provide their students the resources they need to succeed. Too many teachers are buying school supplies for students out of their own pockets. Too many students slip through cracks because schools can't afford the means to identify them and intervene.
But teachers are a convenient scapegoat. Let's punish them.
