Education Windbag of the Week: Tom Watson

Former Michigan Superintendent of Schools Tom Watson compares public schools to the Ford Motor Company, suggesting the schools need to change.

That's it. No details, just a need to change.

Well, duh!

Seriously, enough already comparing public schools to manufacturing. Schools, unlike manufacturers, don't choose their "raw materials."

And Watson held that position from 2001-2005. Funny how he doesn't mention what happened during his tenure that led public schools down this troubled road.
