Randi in Miami
Paul Moore sent this link to Randi's speech today in Miami.

She sure brought along her shovel.
I love the part where she says she was a social studies teacher.
She left out the "full time for 6 months" part.
She doesn't mention her former buddy Rudy Crew, who left (or was chased out of) Miami recently.
And she agrees with rewarding teachers who produce results.
Hmm. Exactly what kinds of results are we talking about? Test results, of course. But don't be shocked to see Weingarten make a speech to another group tomorrow where she rails against the evils of testing. Remember the mantra: watch what she does, not what she says.
