This piece is by Jim Horn, PhD is a very worthwhile read. He writes a concise, powerful history on education reform in our nation in order to demonstrate how the educaction system is the scapegoat for our economic and social policy failures. I like his use of the term, "corporate socialism." It effectively responds to the ostensible free market, pro-voucher supporters who say that public education is "socialist" or an "education monopoly." Read on and also visit Dr. Horn's blog, "Schools Matter," a new link that I've added as well.
