Arne Duncan criticizes teacher training

[From this NY times article: Teacher Training Termed Mediocre]

Speaking at Columbia University’s Teachers College, Arne Duncan said

By almost any standard, many if not most of the nation’s 1,450 schools, colleges and departments of education are doing a mediocre job of preparing teachers for the realities of the 21st-century classroom.




Looks like, in addition to criticizing the education system including all those who work in it, now it is time to criticize the system that trains them too.

This is interesting, since it may continue to work its way back to the very root of the problem, wherever that is.
