“Bad teachers need to be fired” says Steve Jobs
This SEC options thing must be chafing co-founder and número uno Steve Jobs at Apple Inc really bad.
Last week he essentially tore the record industry a new hole, by blasting them about DRM on downloaded music and challenged them to abandon the DRM strategy, which I think a majority of consumers and device makers want as well.
This week he took a swing at educators, blasting the teachers unions and the state of public schools by saying “that schools were never likely to improve until principals could fire bad teachers.” Steve shared the stage with rival CEO Michael Dell to deliver their vision of technology in classrooms. Jobs’ comments drew loud applause during an education conference, but while Jobs’ comments seemed to be drawing support from the crowd, Dell’s CEO, sat quietly with his hands folded in his lap.
Steve Jobs was reported to use the term, ” Off the charts Crazy” when referring to the unionization and lifetime employment of K-12 teachers.
After making that statement, Steve admitted that “Apple just lost some business in this state, I’m sure.”
