Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, Race to the Top




Mr. Duncan is unable to articulate any role models influencing his perspective on education. I find this troubling for someone whose idea is to have a highly qualified teacher/principal in the classroom that he is unable to look at a framework that is informing his educational ideas. And he supports what happened in Rhode Island where teachers are being fired for not capitulating to working longer hours for no additional pay.

"Let’s be honest: we need a lot more well-off, well-educated white folks with a personal stake in both charter schools and education reform in general if we’re going to take reform to the next level, both politically and operationally.Whitney Tilson, hedge fund manager and major funding angel for the school privatizing Democrats for Education Reform, thinks there’s not enough rich, educated white folks.( Preaprez) click photo to his blog.
