White Suburban Dads—Even Worse than Moms?

 If you could ask Arne Duncan just one question, what would it be?

By Patrick Hayes
If you could ask Arne Duncan just one question, what would it be? That’s the dilemma I faced when I heard that my district would be hosting a live Q & A with Big Dunk.There was the obvious choice:

*Whaddya’ get Bill Gates for Boss’s Day?  The man has everything.*

Instead, I settled on this:

*Your own department found a 36% error rate for value-added. Your department’s merit pay brief says: ‘Texas, Nashville, and Chicago programs all showed no effect on student achievement.’ (I could have added NY, Denver and, more than likely, DC to that list but didn’t want to get carried away…) Why are you spending our money on policies that are unfair to teachers and have an extensive record of failure?*

Talking talking points
Dunk’s response is on video, but I’m going to save you one minute and forty-one seconds White Suburban Dads—Even Worse than Moms? | EduShyster:
