I see that Providence, Rhode Island has been taking steps to carefully and thoughtfully weed out the teachers in their ranks that are lazy and ineffective. The ‘shoot first and ask questions later’ method is sure to produce excellent results, and improve the overall morale of the teaching staff in that region.
My Question, however, is, “Why stop there?”
If the gross incompetence that seems to lace the teaching profession is such a boil on the derriere of this country’s financial system, and it can be lanced with such ease, why not extend this solution to the remainder of the public sector? Surely there are other types of public servants that are perceived as dead weight on the country’s trek to economic recovery?!
How about policemen? This profession has been riddled with documented corruption and incompetence since before our country even existed. Fire ‘em all! Can’t come back ‘til the lie detector says you’re clean!!
How about sanitation workers, ‘cause heaven knows they could be working faster, better, and cheaper. Fire ‘em all! Let ‘em pass an Army obstacle course before they can come back.
Ooooh! I’ve got a GOOD one!!!
How about our politicians?
Seems to be all the rage right now.
