God help us all if this is the future of education in this country.
Inferior curriculum, no way to know if cheating is going on, and teachers who are little more than call center workers.

Got news for you: Michelle Rhee is the end result of a thirty-year war waged by neoliberals saying public schools are no good simply because they are public.
It has nothing to do with teacher "quality" but is an attempt to destroy public institutions for private gain.
John Merrow should know better, but he doesn't. After all, he was one of Rhee's biggest cheerleaders.

Obituary: McPaper founder Al Neuharth, 89, has died:
Allen H. Neuharth, the newspaper visionary and former Gannett chairman who founded USA TODAY, helped create a museum dedicated to news and became one of the industry's most influential and sometimes controversial figures, died Friday at his home in Cocoa Beach, Fla. He was 89.
"As a journalist, I had a wonderful window on the world'' Neuharth wrote in "Plain Talk," a final column he said should be published in USA TODAY after his death. "For nearly 50 years as a reporter and editor, I tried to tell stories accurately and fairly, without opinion."
It was fitting that Neuharth would try to have the last word, even on the topic of his own passing. The longtime newspaperman, media executive and columnist died after sustaining injuries in a fall at his home.
