Will Richardson: "Race to the Top needs another 'T'... Race to the Traditional Top." Quite so. And this seems to be where a lot of reforms miss the boat. And he adds, scathingly, "A small bunch of 'reformists' armed with a boatload of money are in the process of buying off the media, unions, and parents to move schools toward greater 'accountability' and 'achievement' in ways that more resemble fixing the leaks in the hull instead of building a better boat." He is reacting to a puff piece published by Stephen Brill in the NY Times. Oh where will the publicists go when the Times is behind a paywall and can't be used as a soapbox any more?
