[quote=Anonymous]White definitely did the best job on the hearing a few days ago. His opening statement was articulate and on point. Grosso was not impressive. 
The problem with Grosso is the same as with many liberals. I am a progressive democrat but you also need to analyze and see what is working and what is not and adjust accordingly.
He doesn't do that which makes him the worst type of democrat. He doesn't understand that the best thing you can do for poor kids is to provide them structure and give them a good education. Set high standards for everyone and then find ways to build support for the poor kids who are coming from dysfunctional families. Eliminating suspensions is a knee jerk reaction rather than a sophisticated response. It will not help anyone. The kids who don't get suspended will cause major disruptions in class and everyone who wants to learn will not be able to. Is that his solution? Teachers already feel students have no accountability. Find creative ways to help these kids but it will take a lot of hard work and smart thinking and Grosso is either not up for that or perhaps incapable of doing that. Giving the kids a pass because they come from difficult backgrounds is the absolute worst thing you can do for them. You are not setting them up for life. [/quote]
