Teacher fired for causing students to think.

I think the education system in the US is due for an overhaul. For something like this to happen because of 'No Child Left Behind' is ridiculous. Children need to be grouped together by intelligence progression needs to be based on competence in the subjects rather than age. Teachers unions need to be disassembled and superintendents need to stop running schools like corrupt CEO's. Teachers need to be paid based on performance. I feel we are heading down a slippery slope with our education system, and we are slipping and falling all the way down.
