Carrots everywhere, but no stick?

Except for a very oblique reference to "weeding out" bad teachers, I don't see any real call for taking a hard stance on evaluating and FIRING teachers who aren't getting the job done...

More crap to keep the teachers unions happy. Until we get to a point where there's a system that measures the performance of teachers and provides a mechanism to get rid of those that don't meet minimum standards, we're never going to make progress on education.
