Those "educators" are hot for data and research based garbage. I will just assume that Bloomy dangles money at that Education school to further their research that amazingly coincides with his proposals and viewpoints. Their reformy arm, Johns Hopkins "Talent Development Secondary" sucks up RTTT money in the urban districts. Check them out. They are infiltrating Buffalo like bedbugs. They hire any reform-minded jerk with a BA to come into the schools and tell teachers how to do it! I will further a guess that Johns Hopkins will be involved in the creation of a "Bar Exam", also.<br />Perfect example of "money talks"! Check out the Johns Hopkins School of Ed twitters to hear them crow about their cutting edge anti-public school research. Here is just one example of the reformy/scholarly stuff they publish:<br /><br />Three steps for better American schools<br />Rewriting No Child Left Behind, funding Common Core standards, encouraging classroom diversity are keys<br />January 07, 2013|By James Campbell<br /><br />Education policy wasn't a significant issue in the 2012 presidential election, but it needs to be one in 2013. Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with public education, and no small wonder: studies continue to show that our schools, once the envy of the world, have fallen to the middle of the pack or worse. Such concern prompted a task force led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former New York City School Chancellor Joel I. Klein to issue a report for the Council on Foreign relations stating that the "The United States' failure to educate its students leaves them unprepared to compete and threatens the country's ability to thrive in the global economy."Pineapple Harenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-10712035285310458692013-01-27T12:20:22.644-05:002013-01-27T12:20:22.644-05:00In Bloomberg's world of course it is the poor ...In Bloomberg's world of course it is the poor teaching for his C av. He never makes mistakes and it was never his fault. So if high was boring and uninspiring it wasn't him. Maybe that is the source of his anti-teacher attitude. And then again do the profs at Johns Hopkins get the credit for his success there?<br />ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-24730701304625804632013-01-27T11:59:47.187-05:002013-01-27T11:59:47.187-05:00Likewise, the CEO of Governor Cuomo's ed Repho...Likewise, the CEO of Governor Cuomo's ed Rephorm commission, Mr. upward failure Dick Parsons was somehow deemed fit to preside over a bunch of ex Bain employees, members of the Aspen Institute and Broad Institute's directors, Reform edders and the like for the purported mission of improving education. Parsons quit high school and ended up with a GED then wandered off to Hawaii where he was known to spend a lot of time in the bar and playing cards. He wasn't seen in many classrooms though and ended up dropping out. Later, with the help of Nelson rockerfeller he ends up valedictorian of his law school class at Albany. The bald faced hypocrisy and unbelievable balls for lack of a better word of these people is simply stultifying. I am connected and you are just a goddamned 50K teacher so shut the hell up and let me reform you or I will use my connections to get rid of you one way or the other. Welcome to public ed in 2013.
