Why, all of a sudden, does it appear so many people of means (you know, the rich guys) have become involved in “education reform”? Could it be that there is big money to be made there? Think of the huge publishing contracts for standardized testing materials, standardized national curricula, teacher retraining courses, charter schools, you name it. Where there is big money involved, such as America’s education budget, you will naturally find the big money people.We should ask: how much thought has been given to the research, the unbiased research, indicating that none of this “education reform” has produced any better results than our own public school system?
