Children and parents are to him the equivalent of widgets, and he is on record as saying that the most cost efficient (and therefore best) way to train teachers would be to throw them into the classroom without any preparation and then decide on at the end of a year if they are good teacgers by giving the pupils a test. (The of such a method cost to the children of our country is of not the slightest concern to him). Yet the Supreme Court listens to this maniac and cites his words of wisdom in their opinions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-58397489979089741432013-12-10T16:54:55.100-05:002013-12-10T16:54:55.100-05:00To me it beggars belief that Eric Hanushek's a...To me it beggars belief that Eric Hanushek's arguments, which patently border on the insane (if they are not actually insane), have been swallowed whole by so many influential and wealthy people, including the president of the United States, the World Bank, the editorial staff of the New York Times and Washington Post, and the leadership of the Democratic party.

There is nothing and has never been anything to back up his claims our mid-position international test scores are a threat to our economy. <br /><br />Low wages, high unemployment, lack of a social safety net, and widening inequities are a threat to our economy, as are attacks on teachers.<br /><br />Hanushek actually believes and repeatedly testifies in court that adequate funding will do nothing to improve educational outcomes. Rather, he prescribes more austerity in the name of "efficiency". <br /><br />According to him we should be firing more teachers, and, since “we do not fully understand what characteristics are associated with effective classroom teaching”. Instead of "costly professional training and certification" he recommends that “schools could apply some minimum entry standards and then evaluate actual classroom performance”, Eric Hanushek and Alfred Lindseth, "Schoolhouses, Courthouses, and Statehouses: Solving the Funding-Achievement Puzzle in America's Public Schools' (Princeton University Press, 2009), p. 81.<br /><br />Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034269198524567445noreply@blogger.com
