Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell

The bait and switch of school "reform

David Sirota at Salon.com

Behind the new corporate agenda for education lurks the old politics of profit and self-interest
As Brill and most other education correspondents tell it, those most aggressively trying to privatize public schools and focus education around standardized tests just "happen to be" Wall Streeters -- as if that's merely a random, inconsequential coincidence. Somehow, we are to assume that these same Wall Streeters who make millions off of "parasitic" investment schemes to leech public institutions for private profit couldn't have ulterior motives when it comes to public schools. -- The bait and switch of school "reform"
