Remember this in November.
Randy Turner: Mitt Romney and the Fierce Desire for Educational Change: "If keeping Gov. Romney and his band of reformers from steering federal educational funding toward unproven charter schools operated by speculators wanting to make a killing from the education markets fits the description, then yes, I have a fierce determination to stop that.
If it means stopping a move toward rewarding digital and online entrepreneurs who are touting profit-making (and in many cases, highly dubious) schemes to enrich their bottom lines, then yes, I am going to remain fierce.
And if the governor is moving to "reform" schools by rewarding the testing and test prep companies that are slowly but surely damaging the fabric of public education, then I am absolutely determined not to keep things the way they are, but to move them in another direction.
"Teaching is a highly valued profession," Romney, reportedly with a straight face, told his audience; unless, of course, you are one of those teachers who happen to belong to a union.
Then you are a member of "a group that has lost its way."
"The teacher unions don't fight for our children," he said. "Good teachers put the interests of their children first.""
