Some thought that businesses products and schools products were enough alike that the same principles should apply. Others were (and are) more focused on how they might profit from expanded public school markets - everything from curriculum to tests to charters and vouchers to public/private partnerships and outsourcing...<br /><br />At the beginning of the Obama administration it was pretty clear that all funding to support school improvement was coming from the same philosophical camp - Gates (and others like Broad, Walton...) and Obama. The present case is one of post hoc ergo propter hoc. Gates advised relaxing the timeline for implementation and Duncan followed. I'm not sure who's following whom. But clearly, these are coordinated efforts. And you can count on Wilhoit and Holliday being in some of the conversations.Richard Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586435007687942849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-25987575464722323892014-08-25T21:57:32.471-04:002014-08-25T21:57:32.471-04:00Hmmm.
