Supreme Court Votes to Limit the Use of Race in Integration

It's also worth noting - the problem often has more to do with not having *enough* teachers, rather than having bad teachers - both because we're a bit short on people who want to be teachers and because there's not enough money in many of the local budgets to hire enough of them. Indeed, teachers almost never start out bad. They start out good, and then the job breaks them over time. If you want to fix the problem of bad teachers (which is, indeed, a good and worthwhile goal) then the best way to go about it is to figure out how to keep the good teachers we've got from breaking, and let the bad ones drop out over time. It's certainly a better technique than firing all of the bad teachers immediately, and then turning with innocent eyes to the good teachers and blithely expecting them to handle class sizes half again as large without folding.
