Why in the world does everybody think we should take policy direction from front-line teachers? Do we develop war strategy based on the thoughts of army privates? Do we set the menu of a restaurant based on direction from line cooks? Do we set the strategy for a national business based on feedback from the outside sales staff or the accounting department?

Why anyone believes this is beyond me.
