It says that they are going to cut out all specials--PE, music, art, etc-- and special education and repurpose those teachers as classroom teachers. [/quote]

That's basically the warm-body theory of teaching.

One of my math teachers was actually the PE teacher. He might have known how to teach PE, but I didn't have him as a PE teacher so I don't know. He certainly did not know how to teach math.[/quote]

+1.  As a private tutor I see the downstream impact of this - kids who aren’t taught effectively end up not understanding the material.

Teachers reinforce that these kids are stupid, because the alternative is that they are capable student taught poorly reflects badly on the teacher. [/quote]
