School reform’s magic bullet(s) by John Young
Today’s column by John Young is the perfect antidote to the wrong-headed notions propounded by nearly all the panelists over the last two days at NBC’s Education Nation.
John was the opinion page editor of the Waco, Texas paper for many years, in George Bush’s backyard, till he recently moved back to his home state of Colorado. John showed Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9?11 on the side of a barn in Waco when the local theaters refused to show it; for more on him, see this Texas Monthly column.
This column is cross-posted from his invaluable blog, with John’s permission. Thanks for
