“Toch presents a compelling indictment of the ‘new philanthropy’s’ primary investment strategy for education reform.

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.
