In Illinois, there is always a way out for the incompetent or guilty ones.

Sure, the Nazi-inspired approach is not to excessively ponder such things to spoil your plans for the day and kill all of them instead. Seem like a winner to you?

We are now in the world where everyone gets a trophy, and they don’t even need to compete. You can’t reward the best and brightest anymore, unless of course they check the right box, or better yet, boxes.

Do the teachers unions have any ideas on how to assess education? Seems like every time we try to measure something, they don’t want it measured.
