   Best quote:

   He expounds at length on “good” and “bad” teachers, then—as if to nullify his own views—he boasts that his staff was drawn entirely from failed schools. “But when they were put in a better system, better things happened.” I couldn’t have said it better.

   I cannot bear to watch him or listen to him.

   Three words: Pompous bloviating egomaniac.

   Let’s see a study of the 50 something percent that do graduate and how many attend college and complete college. Where do the 40 something percent go once Perry decides they are “not a good fit”?

     …and then let’s take the top 50% of kids in average pubic schools and make a comparison.

     You are kinder than I, Linda. I was thinking, “Jackass”.

   This is another one of those, thank heavens he read it so I don’t have to, things. I haven’t previously encountered Dr. Perry, and that review was enough to convince me that’s the way it should remain.

   Perry is the reason I have stopped watching CNN after several years of religiously following the morning and evening shows. He is an embarrassment.

     Yes, I agree. I wrote an email to him once after an appearance where many of his statements were either inaccurate or vague. He never responded. It is usually all about him and how great he is. Where did all the humble leaders go?

       Steve’s a bomb thrower. He’s up there with another ignoramus, RiShawn Biddle. Here’s a sampling from the brilliant mind of Dr. Steve courtesy of Jersey Jazzman.

       If you Google both of them there’s more.

       BTW- If you do get a Twitter response from Dr. Steve and he disagrees with you- he’s quick to blame you and if you continue and it gets heated, he’ll call you a bigot or racist. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. He assumes a lot. Most of it is incorrect.

   This is the bandwagon to be on. It gets you noticed and you get paid. But like all things built on a house of cards, they too will fall.
