This is why I’m a blogger and not an educator

The blogs are all a twitter about a blunder by Obama’s new secretary of education, Arne Duncan.

Obama nominated Duncan to be his secretary of education because, “He’s not beholden to any one ideology, and he’s worked tirelessly to improve teacher quality.”

Duncan is the CEO of Chicago public schools which ranks at the bottom percentile in standardized test scores compared to the national average.

Says Michelle Malkin:

An impromptu flub would be one thing. But Obama Education Secretary-designate — and Harvard grad — Arne Duncan was reading from a prepared text. Guess they teach inventive grammar at Haaaaahvahd. (LINK)

Still, I didn’t find anything wrong with what he said. That’s why I’m a blogger and not out teaching your kids.

UPDATED: The flub is when he says “My sister and I.” According to the Grammar experts, he should have said “My sister and me.”
