Anyone here want to summarize Mr. O'Malley's position on Obama-era public school "reform"? [View all]

In other words: Race to the Top, NCLB, privatization, bureaucratization, teacher.... ummmm... "accountability" ( aka: union busting), classroom micromanagement, overtesting, ed policy set by non-educators and other politicians and billionaires and RW think tank free market gurus..

I asked essentially the same thing of the Sander-nista group:

He ( O'Malley) seems to have attended private school exclusively.

(Does anyone know if any of his 4 kids attend public school. Or is that a silly ...or impertinent ... question?)


Frankly, this is not a good sign. Makes him look interchangeable w. Obama, Duncan, all the Bush's, Gates, Rhee, the Walmarts, etc. etc. etc. ......basically the entire economically privileged political class that is going to ... here we go again... "reform" public education. While stashing their own progeny safely off in private schools. Which are carefully and deliberately inured from the effects of everything itemized in paragraph 1.


So... help me understand. Re. Mr. O'Malley: Is there really any "there" there?
