For “students most in need” read “most uneducable.”
Unless “teacher excellence” means “in special ed,” this
looks like a gross misallocation and waste of talent.
Are we supposed to think that O thinks that the differences
in educational performance he tries not to allude to are significantly due to
factors other than the kids, themselves?
You really want to put a woman who’s dynamite teaching high school
calculus in a classroom full of kids who came to her doing math at a fourth grade level and are more likely to threaten her life than bring her an apple?
What makes you think she would teach there for any plausible
amount of money?
Ah, "non-material incentives."
Looking for brilliant ex-peace corps teachers, then, who bizarrely don't mind not actually teaching those who can't or won't actually learn.
