Teachers, no surprise, resist accountability

Teachers are resisting accountability.
Now Schools of Education are resisting accountability.

Here's a great story on how schools of education do not want any independent evaluation.
Now, the proposed US News survey may very well be a lousy evaluation tool, but schools of education could come up with their own criteria.

Right now Schools of Education admit students with below average academic success, graduate them without providing the necessary skills and knowledge to teach in the 21st century, and then watch as a huge percentage of them drop out of teaching within 5 years, another major wasted expense in education. 

Teacher accountability is coming.  So is accountability for Schools of Education.

I also find it interesting the number of teachers who now blog to complain about parents who demand too much for their children. Alot of them blame "Gen X" parents for being too "hands on." To me, that also seems like not wanting to be accountable.

I'm interested in such offer,The sound quality in these podcasts is really poor. I feel bad about complaining about something that is free, but I think it is important.
