Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
This truly shows the amount of ridiculous claims professors seem to make. It is unfortunate that a few “bad apples” reflect on the teaching profession so much. Things like “No Child Left Behind” have put requirements on teachers that teachers in the past did not have to go through. I will be waiting with baited breath as to how much doubling, and tripling the requirements on teachers (and yet giving them no pay raises in districts such as LAUSD, one of the largest school districts in the nation) is improving student scores.
It flies in the face of reason that these professors can be at such levels of education. I bet if you were in this “professor’s” class he would fail you if you disagreed with his mentally inept findings and did not agree with his political opinions.
