Romney vs teachers

There is no easy solution to reforming our education system, but this article certainly adds fuel to the fire.  Impressive, but I wonder if they are measuring only academics or the whole child.


"The chief educational strategy of top-performing nations such as Finland, Singapore and South Korea is to recruit talent from the top third of the academic cohort into the teaching profession and to train them in selective, prestigious institutions to succeed on the job. In the United States, by contrast, we recruit teachers mostly from the middle and (especially for poor schools) bottom third and train them mostly in open-enrollment institutions that by all accounts do shoddy work."
