School written broadly didn't jibe with the way they prefer to learn, with lots of hands-on attention. Neither did well in high school, particularly, and each dropped out of college after a year or less. I'll refrain from using a stronger term to describe Rush in the interest of discretion. Look at Steve and Rush Limbaugh, the central figures of this argument. Are his teachers to blame for the way his intelligence manifested in class? He's told me several times that he could have been an A-student, but he just hated classroom learning too much to do so. It means he's an incredibly individual learner (like, well, Steve Jobs.) who couldn't be well-served in large classes (they get bigger by the year) and so has done all of his best learning on his own time. Does this mean his teachers were bad? No, actually. He's now an extremely successful wine specialist at one of the finest restaurants in San Diego. I have a friend who is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and he graduated high school with a C average before dropping out of an extremely mediocre university after one semester with a D average. To be honest, plenty of students are not well-served by our current educational system. Students can drop out at 16 if they choose, but public schools won't turn away anyone who lives in the district with a stated interest in learning. So if you're saying that tenured teachers should be fired for lackluster performance, however you define it, you're ultimately saying that students should be fired for lackluster performance, and that's actually not a stance we as a society are ready to make. Even if that student stands up and screams at the top of their lungs "TEACHERS ARE PIGS TEACHERS ARE PIGS TEACHERS ARE PIGS!" during a lecture on "Huck Finn." These aren't bad customers who you choose not to work with and ban from the store for life (unless they do something worthy of expulsion), it's a person whose success you must commit to regardless of your mood, their behavior or other circumstance.Īnd this is where the metaphor of school as business truly breaks down: You can only fire (expel) students for extraordinarily bad behavior, much as even tenured teachers can be removed for any number of reasons that go beyond mere performance issues. Even if the student deliberately does poorly on standardized tests to express contempt for a cookie-cutter system. Even if the student is being neglected at home and hasn't had a decent meal in the last five years. If a student lives in a district, he or she is eligible to attend. Schools and teachers don't get to choose who they work with. And that's a problem, because the definition of public school means no firing of students. Here's the crazy part: follow the metaphor through to the end, and it's students, not teachers, who are the employees in this metaphor. And guess what? The performance of great managers like Steve Jobs is based on the performance of his employees.

The performance of their students. The control is through myPoint menu in menu bar extras. When myPoint is running, no icon is shown in the Dock.
