.... their interrelationships, and their homegrown jungle of Orwellian job titles and euphemisms:

"Where is he now? Josh Edelman is now Senior Program Officer, Empowering Effective Teachers, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and was recently appointed to the board of "DC School Reform now," a group headed by David Pickens, first Chicago schools CEO Arne Duncan's Deputy Chief of Staff and then Senior Advisor and System-Wide Manager to the CEO and then Chief of Staff to the Chicago Board of Education. "

"Senior Advisor and System-Wide Manager to the CEO" --- my *ASS*.

WTF does he actually DO? Not much worth mentioning, I'd wager.

More later on this. I have questions about the PBS-Rhee-Frontline episode where some of this is mentioned at the very end.

Later.
