  I assume dobbsbob is talking about this, which appears in several forms on the top Google page for "Gates", "Teachers" and "Stack Ranking": http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/05/1106417/-Gates-s-Cannibalistic-Culture-Coming-to-a-School-Near-You http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/05/1106417/-Gates-s-Ca... Here's the Gates quote the whole article is built around. You can judge for yourself how much it reflects a desire for a "Cannibalistic Culture" or its general merit as an approach to education reform: "What should policymakers do? One approach is to get more students in front of top teachers by identifying the top 25 percent of teachers and asking them to take on four or five more students. Part of the savings could then be used to give the top teachers a raise. (In a 2008 survey funded by the Gates Foundation, 83 percent of teachers said they would be happy to teach more students for more pay.) The rest of the savings could go toward improving teacher support and evaluation systems, to help more teachers become great."
