An attack weathered by all education-policy pundits who have not??taught in dreadful, moldy,??urban schools where classes are dismissed to the sound of gunfire is this: "Ah ha! But you haven't spent time in the classroom and therefore have no grounds for opining." How silly, though, if our legislators, staring at their 18.5 percent approval ratings, took to CSPAN and said, "Foolish Americans. You have no idea how difficult it is to serve one's country! The vast majority of you have never been politicians, and probably you couldn't even legislate new flags for your??respective city halls. So, shush up."????
That's not the same thing, Liam! Oh, isn't it?
