what the Pugs have done to unions, health, and public institutions (unions again), they want to do to education. that is to say, make sure somebody gets to make a profit, the public welfare be damned!
The whole "reform" system set up by Rhee and her ilk is simply a way to use public money that provides a steady flow (taxes) to enrich private enterprise - "charter schools" - school choice - mandated testing ("chosen test providers - plus "options" for "test prep" materials) and vouchers - means to take money from districts and send those moneys to "chosen" providers (see "private schools!&quot .
I could go on - I'm too to believe that the public doesn't see this (but then again, 47% still liked Mitt! )!
