Clippy must die... and Gates should get out of our classrooms' lives

I'm not sure if I'd agree with any side here. Probably don't have enough information from the place itself. However the situation itself reminds me of a similar conversation between managers and developers.

Managers made great plans and tried to structure everything. More processes, more control, more planning, more measuring. Meanwhile good developers did as much work as they could while trying to workaround the processes to make their lives easier, sometimes argued the rules cannot be properly implemented, etc. Worse developers either tried to follow the program with either better or worse result, but usually with lots of bureaucracy and complaining. Bad ones ignored it and failed on all fronts...

What was definitely lacking was the trust that developers can do their job without constant managing... On the other hand, there weren't many good developers either.

Just thought it was interesting to see the rabidly opposed side's view spelled out a bit. I don't think they're proposing solutions to problems here other than, "wait for good people to come."

If you deserve it, the bird will fly in the window.

Everything that's wrong with US public education in one sentence.
