RI Teacher Says"I Quit!"

Kudos to veteran Rhode Island teacher Stephen Round four standing by his principles as an educator and so clearly explaining why he is resigning. "Parents need to know what is being done to their children in many of today's public schools - and it is not the teacher's fault." In a follow-up video, he argues, "Public schools, the way they are set up, are destined to turn out many more Adam Lanzas. His mom's choice - to pull him out of the public school system - undoubtedly contributed to Adam becoming more and more isolated." All very good, but I wish the second video didn't become an advertisement for a small private Christian academy funded entirely by donations. Meanwhile, for some reason, Alexander Russo trivializes the video, calling nit a Gangnam-style resignation. But there's a good comment about education in Gangnam, where "education is taken seriously, and high test scores are sought and achieved... but even they don't believe in the militaristic approach to second grade education described in this video."
