From an “unapologetic ed reformer.”
Fred,
As an unapologetic “education reformer,” I’m enjoying watching this meltdown. Edelman is clearly guilty of a “Kinsey gaffe,” where someone in politics accidentally tells the truth.
Fact is, America’s education system is in shambles. With 50+ years of “reform” having been either written, or subverted, by the education bureaucracy, it is now clear that it is beyond “reform.” It must be dismantled.
Those of you here lament SB7 as some horrific attack on teachers, and I see it as a reform so tepid that it is union supported. You folks spout this as evidence that there is a conspiracy to dismantle education. I’m disappointed that these philanthropists aren’t being more aggressive, de-
No money for SB7? You’re kidding me (sarcasm).
Don’t buy the Tribune.
I’ll save you the trouble and reprint the headline.
