Joe,
Per your current article on the Chicago school, I suggest you read my coworkers blog. He has several articles referencing this, all the students were hand picked for this school to give the appearance of success.

I wasted 10 min. reading these and now I'm left asking "where's the beef". All I see is, "how terrible, Duncan fired all those teachers". And I definetly don't see anything that should make anyone discount the success of this school. Sounds like another attempt to bash Obama even when he was not directly involved.
ReplyDeletedidn't see any link between these stories and the chicago school.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just a charter school, privately owned and operated but open to the public, as opposed to government owned and operated and open to the public.
