Cool Stuff
Rapid fire, as I'm totally swamped:
-- Bruno Manno, whose work I have admired for a long time, asks some good questions about the market metaphor for charter schools, and whether or not that is enough to explain the reality of what has to happen to change public education in profound/productive ways. Great read, including stressing the need for us to better understand what is happening in our best schools. Part of comments he made along with the release of Hopes, Fears and Reality: A Balanced Look At American Charter Schools.
-- What gets Justin Cohen ticked off? Click here to find out.
-- Kombiz at EdWize isn't digging my Mickey Kaus link on so-called "card check." Meanwhile. readers of this blog are overwhelmingly coming down closer to a "10" in the spectrum of how bad card check would be for the charter school sector in New York State.
-- EdWize's Leo Casey IS digging the Ed Sector chicks! He has good taste.
-- AFT John is back, and he's ready for action, even against goofballs who comment on his site.
