Voiceover: [Are you tired of trying to use private school choice policy to remove mediocre, incompetent or just plain dangerous teachers from public schools?](http://www.edexcellence.net/flypaper/index.php/2010/04/tenure-reform-not-choice-is-the-holy-grail/) Just look at how clumsy *that* can be!

This poor school choice supporter is *struggling* just to get enough kids into private schools so that the public schools notice and start firing bad teachers! What a waste!!! Fordham Industries pitch-man extra-ordinaire Public-Mad Mike Petrilli has [a better way](http://www.edexcellence.net/flypaper/index.php/2010/04/tenure-reform-not-choice-is-the-holy-grail/)!

[Petrilli](http://www.edexcellence.net/flypaper/index.php/2010/04/tenure-reform-not-choice-is-the-holy-grail/): “Rather than use choice to set in motion a chain reaction that ends with the removal of bad teachers from the classroom, why not go right at the bad teachers themselves?”!

Voiceover: Don’t waste your time with systemic reforms helping some kids today and all kids tomorrow! Just buy in to Teacher-B-Gone Safety System**®** and see your public school systems shine!!!\*
