This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.

Watch Amy Wilkins Change the Subject
Dan Brown asks a great question that does not get answered, even as Amy launches into an attack on the questioner. Wonder how come.
Wow, what a non-response. And I particularly love that someone from the Education Trust, fully funded by foundations is attacking someone trained by TFA, another foundation supported institution for what? Being hired?
I certainly hope that the ET is working to subvert the goals of TFA if that's their opinion. It would be fun to watch foundation money being used to fight, well, more foundation money.
