Reader rips into famous speaker C. J. Huff's major talking points

Several readers have commented on last night's Turner Report post about Speakers.com's video advertisement for one of their stable of big-money professional speakers- Joplin R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff.

Part of that post described the talking points from Huff's speeches. An anonymous reader took issue with those talking points as you can see below:

Let's translate those main talking points:

Achievement & Peak Performance- Successfully running off 1/3 of the staff in two years and running the district broke after the biggest bind issue in Joplin history was passed

Change Management--firing or forcing into retirement all but three of the district's building leaders so that your pets can have jobs for which they are not qualified

Communication--sending your puppet around to remind teachers that it would be a shame if their job/program disappeared since jobs are hard to come by, or that they will never work again if they don't resign

Motivation-what staff feels as they are packing to go anywhere else

Overcoming Adversity--what staff feels when they get anywhere else and no longer feel the constant threat of losing their jobs

Education--what Joplin students get less of every year, judging from DESE data
