4. Good read from beginning to end but the sum-up puts it all together.

As a good "last paragraph" should:


>>>Charter schools, for profit on-line universities and other forms of privatization may not in the end fulfill all the dreams of its Wall Street promoters. But there is clearly money to be made here. And where there is money to be made, we can be sure that there will be money to finance political campaigns, to support career ladders that move between government and business and to bribe the media into ignoring the data. So the war on public education will continue. All of course “for the sake of the children.”>>>.

And for exactly these reasons , it's going to be a long, drawn-out fight.
