Well, this guest was interesting enough when he was specific, but I spent most of the interview wondering what he’s talking about. For one thing, he wants accountability but not specific standards, like complaining OSHA has too many rules when companies should just instill a “safety culture”. Okay, companies do that, and accidents still happen. Having standardized systems and practices (like yes, lighting stairwells) is pretty essential to that safety culture. The accountability comes when managers have a spine and enforce accountability both in private and public sectors.
I really don’t know what he’s talking about in schools either. Where I live, principals go into classes unannounced and regularly. And getting rid of bad teachers isn’t near the problem of finding and retaining good teachers. Education pays terribly and teachers are not sufficiently respected for their work; it really shows what we as a society value. That seems to be a much more pressing issue than teachers unions or whatever point he was trying to make.
