Speaking of the education reform movement

I found a really good opinion piece about it. Here's the link.

In essence, the article talks about how reformers and those critical of them are not talking to each other. Unfortunately, reformers tend to be policy makers and lightning rods a la Michelle Rhee. The critical folks are teachers and people in the trenches.

They should be talking to each other, and they aren't.

The issue would be helpful to keep in mind for those who are going to discuss the efforts to privatize public education (I see them closely linked.) The League of Women Voters of the Monterey Peninsula is having a discussion on the topic at its monthly meeting in March. You can find more information here.
