It is NOT a "blame-Obama" post. If you don't know what Arne Duncan and his ilk have done to public education in America, you haven't been paying attention.

Obama hired Duncan and stands by him, despite the objections of real educators. The account in the OP is all too typical of the "punish teachers" mentality that is pervasive in schools today.
