13. Without doing the research.... the Cuomo/Kennedy kids are tucked away there.

i.e. in megabucks private schools w. NO CCSS, NO convoluted NYS teacher eval formula, NO class size larger than mandated by law (rather 12 or 15 kids to a class, I'll wager.) and NO Race to the Top.

If I recall .....there's just one of the girls left in prep school, the others having graduated.

Anyway.... it's always a source of amazement to me how people like Cuomo, Obama, Gates, Duncan, and on and on and on..... can know SO MUCH (!!!!) about public schools without EVER in their LIVES having had anything to DO with them.

Either as provider or consumer.

I don't get it. There must be some kind of osmosis-like phenomenon going on between them and their household staff. You know, butlers, maids, drivers, nannys, etc.
