Good opinion piece in the Globe that questions an approach to education that "invokes the very articles of free-market economic faith that have now flamed out, without seeming to realize it." To wit: "'Competition makes for better schools,' said a Globe and Mail editorial, without a shred of evidence, since there is none." well, true, but I would like to see a writer take on the deeper and more important task of explaining why these unsubstantiated views kep appearing like clockwork in the Globe and other media.
