Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, Race to the Top

Mr. Duncan is unable to articulate any role models influencing his perspective on education. I find this troubling for someone whose idea is to have a highly qualified teacher/principal in the classroom that he is unable to look at a framework that is informing his educational ideas. And he supports what happened in Rhode Island where teachers are being fired for not capitulating to working longer hours for no additional pay.
