Never hard of this person before. Very interesting, and IMHO worrying.

Interesting article. Too bad there haven't been more comments on it here. I haven't really put much thought into this before.

It lost me at "To the extent public education “reform” is popular among billionaires and their tax-exempt foundations, one suspects it is as a lever to divert the more than $500 billion dollars in annual federal, state, and local education funding into private hands—meaning themselves and their friends."

I don't buy it.

You know, a good OP at least contains a snippet you found interesting to help lure people into clicking the link.

I did read it. It was ok, though I disagreed with some assertions and saw some obvious statistic manipulation in others. A read it a few days ago, but IIRC, it was basically a call to the social contract/societal responsibility. I don't disagree with the premise, but current generations have shown that unless it's codified into law, they don't give a shit.
