Lifestyles of the Rich and Reformy
Watching Brian Jones yesterday, I was struck once again by the massive hypocrisy of so many who claim the mantle of "reformer." They sing the praises of standardized testing regimes and "accountability," all while dismissing concerns about funding, class size, and highly-educated teachers.
And yet, when it comes to their own families, they choose schools that have small classes and big costs per pupil. I think it's very valuable to periodically remind ourselves just how self-serving these hypocrites can be.
For your reading enjoyment, find below some facts about the schools these people have picked for their own kids. Keep in mind that the NJ voucher bill that many of these people support would provide, at most, $12,000
