Education Psychology—The Institution Approach! By Dr Patrick ODougherty This is A Thought Problem in Public School Education . A Teacher—Is another person collecting a paycheck a teacher? Is Andy Beaton, Principal Edina High School, a teacher. He is another person collecting a government paycheck. My position is NO! Dr Patrick ODougherty has not been called to evaluate outcome based education at Edina High School. However, a bandaid approach won’t turn a public high school around. Life’s experiences are very educational. Solution: Fire Andy Beaton. Stop the paychecks! Close Edina high school. Give the students at Edina Public High School a chance!
