In The Flag"
“From Diane Ravitch, [reference Salon article below] "those who now
sharply criticize the public schools speak fondly of an era when most schools
were racially segregated; when public schools were not required to accept
children with physical, mental, and emotional handicaps; when there were
relatively few students who did not speak or read English; and when few
graduated from high school and went to college."
“My comments: What do these Jeb Bushies, ALEC and DeVos
people want. Why are they so eager to privatize education? The answer is simple:
$$$$$$$$, lots and lots of $$$$$$$$$$$. This is another scheme to fleece
American taxpayers, put kids in front of computers (and call it personalized
education), avoid accountability (because these private schools aren't required
to meet the test ing standards of the
public schools) and kill what's left of the teachers' unions.”
“These "reformers" are all in with the
corporate model -- and we know how well the corporate profit model has worked
for our other public services, don't we?”
