... you can be reasonably sure that literally doing precisely *nothing* is .... as counterintuitive as it sounds.... an infinitely more judicious public policy.

If the last 10 years have proved nothing else, they've proved that opening up education to politics and money makes everything exponentially *worse*.


People who are serious about education have got to figure out how to take the profession back from the $$$ people and the corporate pols. The alternative is ever-deepening chaos and incoherence.
