Ed Notes Online: The cycle of profiteering and privatizing

Ed Notes Online: The cycle of profiteering and privatizing:


The cycle of profiteering and privatizing

We know everything about your child

From Robert Rendo:
First the deformers, Pearson et al for example,  push for self interested legislation, they help write the wording of the law even though they themselves are not educators, then they over test the kids, then the tax system prevents any of their profits from trickling down to schools and teachers for better resources, then they push for starving the schools of funding from government, then when the school "fails", they have it closed with their local crony governments and reopen it under private management, destabilizing neighborhoods, children, families, teachers, society, like never before.

This is little more than one big fat cycle of profiteering and privatizing. .
