What Will He Fix Next?

Now Obama has decided to take over the education sector after straightening out the auto industry and the financial sector. He wants to close the lowest performing schools, 1000 per year, and reopen them later with “new” principals and teachers.

I have yet to see what will happen to the principals and teachers from the closed schools. Since they will all undoubtedly have tenure, they will simply be shuffled around to other schools to continue their failing ways.

How does this help solve anything? It's like a baseball team saying, "our 3rd starting pitcher is performing horribly, so we are moving him to the 4th starter spot and that will solve the problem." No it doesn't, you still have a horrible pitcher.

It's like Walmart saying, "we have an employee who is horrible. They are always late and won't help customers. Therefore, we are moving them from clothing to electronics. Now the problem is solved."

One more question comes to mind, other than the obvious one (where does he get this type of power?). As long as you rank things, there has to be, by definition, something on the bottom. Someone HAS to be the worst performing out of a group.

Will Obama just keep on closing down the bottom 1% every year ad nauseum?
