Hillary Clinton may be planning to close a lot of schools. At a town hall event today in Keota, Iowa, Clinton said she would keep open "better than average" schools. "This school district and these schools throughout Iowa are doing a better than average job," Clinton told the crowd. "Now, I wouldn't keep any school open that wasn't doing a better than average job. If a school's not doing a good job, then you know it may not be good for the kids. "But when you have a district that's doing a good job it seems kind of counterproductive to impose financial burdens on it."

“At a town hall event today in Keota, Iowa,”
Any mention of the crowd size?
To paraphrase George Carlin (I think?):
“Just think how dumb the average politician is. And half of them are dumber than that!”
“So Clinton has no understanding of the normal curve.”
What I see is all schools disappearing. If you close all schools below average, and then recompute the average using the remaining schools, and then close all of those below-the-new-average schools, soon you end up with no schools.
That’s an understatement.
She wants everyone to be above average, like other socialists and communists.
The political class is exempt.
Since the education has been surgically removed from the schooling, this would be an improvement.
Therefore, no chance of it happening.
Lol, aren’t their a lot of schools below average by definition?
Headlines if media was unbiased (pardon the caps):
HILLARY TO SCHOOLS: DROP DEAD!!!
QUEEN OF MEAN VOWS TO CLOSE 50% OF SCHOOLS IN AMERICA!!!
CLINTON SCHOOL MASSACRE: Democrat Throws Millions of Union Members Under the Bus!!!
NO MORE FREE LUNCH: Hillary Sez “Let’em Eat EBT Cake” to Millions of Poor Children!!!
HILLARY: “NO MORE SCHOOLS FOR INNER CITIES”
Well, there IS a way to make it work: reduce all schools to exactly the same level of mediocrity.

I think there is some thought of that, as it is pointed out to parents that if you read to your children they become “privileged.” compared to the other, neglected children in their classes.

This could be a useful outcome of stupidity.

She is a very average leftist who has been promoted way above her pay grade.
And when the below a erase schools ate shut down, the next below average hits and then the next and the next... I fail to see the logic here.
Hillary is going to be the local school board instead of President? That’s ok. Leaving my little town is easier than moving out of the country.
Ilike to see her explain that to the teachers unions.
By definition you must have schools that are below average as well as schools that are above average.
The logical extension of what she has just said is every school but one will be closed. Think it through.
BTW the first dimocratic president to fall into this trap of everything being above average was LBJ at the beginning of the Great Society failure. he wasn’t going to be satisfied until everyone involved was “above average”. And this is the class of people we are going to allow to send our children and grandchildren off to war? Correction, one already did and the other wants to.
What an idiot. If she closes all the ones that aren’t at least average, she’ll have to close about half of them. Then, after the next evaluation, she’d have to close about half of them again until there was only one school per state, or one per jurisdiction being evaluated.
In the end, no school would be open. We cannot put this type of fool in the White House again.
That would mean that the racist Clintoon would be closing most inner city schools with mainly black and Hispanic students.
So, she will be an old white racist and will Schlong the black and Hispanic kids in those schools.
Didn’t Yogi Berra die?
Who’s her writer?
What a putz she is!
Average being the operative word.
Average these days really, really sucks.
