Among the changes Republican leaders are seeking in Oklahoma are making it easier to fire bad teachers, providing parents with letter grades for schools based on performance, and an end to the practice of promoting students to the next grade level before they've reached certain achievement standards.

I think I need a new career...any politician openings? I have some ideas and proposals.

What frustrates me the most about these "education reforms" is the misunderstandings and prejudices and misconceptions of the general public.
