Fear is not a healthy motivator, and what would we accomplish by firing half of the teachers in the state? Sending half of the kids home? Good job, Rubio! The educational "policies" that we have today in Florida seem to be more a result of ignorant tongue-wagging by parents and legislators (yes, parents - who are not teachers!) than anything actually substantive. It wouldn't make sense to ask a dentist (with no physics background) to build a nuclear reactor, right? So why let non-educators decide how to educate children? Geez. SB 6 was garbage.
