Thanks, PP.
Upon inspection...More good research!<br /><br />Thanks, PP.<br /><br /><br />Upon inspection, one finds that what <br />appears to be a well-oiled machine, is indeed <br />a well-oiled machine.<br /><br />As you said:<br /><br />"It's all about educational entrepreneurship and MBA's".<br /><br /><br />Just like Jesus said:<br /><br /><br />"Grab the bucks and runneth!"<br /><br /><br /><br />Uh, he DID say that, right?niktohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219069038917729013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-13296419207910553622009-05-20T14:04:19.106-04:002009-05-20T14:04:19.106-04:00In my investigations over the past several months,...In my investigations over the past several months, Joanne Weiss has appeared as a member on the Board of Directors of all kinds of related organizations. <br /><br />She's on the board of one of my local CMO's (Education for Change), one which was started by an OUSD administrator "on-leave" from the district under our Broad-trained regime. She appears on the board of Revolution Foods, a company that is essentially trying to privatize school food services here in the Bay Area. She is also on Green Dot's Board of Directors. <br /><br />Wouldn't this be some sort of conflict of interest? <br /><br />They're all in cahoots, and probably all have wet pants. It's all about educational entrepreneurship and MBA's. There's hardly a true academic in sight.<br /><br />Arne Duncan was such a dreadful, dreadful pick. <br /><br />I can't look at Obama's image now without having a strong feeling that those of us who care about public education have been betrayed.The Perimeter Primatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619173438763495716noreply@blogger.com
