CREC will be placed in charge of creating 60 New Charters and consolidating regional school boards and central offices into a regional school choice confab, In 2014 the additonal mandate to equalize outcomes will be announced as part of the CT formula underfunding settlement. Obama will announce Race to the Top 5 which emphasizes vouchers.
Meanwhile Steve Adamowski will be put in charge of Malloy’s statistical fudd duddery and convince the BLS that CT is creating more jobs than at any point in history and in fact leads the nation in rebounding economies. It’s all in improving the stats you see. There’s nothing wrong with the underlyng structures. Just the way they are counted.

Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:35:00 +0000 http://imnctnetwork.com/waitwhat/?p=2948#comment-6632 The whole education reform bill in CT is a a mandate from bureaucrats. All of the testing being forced down our throats is a mandate from bureacrats. The new evaluation system in Hartford is a mandate from bureacrats. The things being done in charter and magnet schools are mandates from bureacrats. The eduaction system throughout the country is now based on a mandate from bureacrats posing as “education reformers”. Who are these people and how can people who are so fraudulent, and don’t even appear to be very intelligent about it, continue to stay in positions where they can act as bureaucrats mandating what will be done in OUR public schools?

Looks kind of like a front.
He hasn’t updated it enough to mention all the lauds he is getting for spinning Bridgeport around.
I hate to get medieval, but does anyone else think that Paul Vallas bears a striking resemblance to Chaucer’s Pardoner, fake relics and hypocritical sermons and all?

All these people (Bush, Kochs, Baggers, Libertarians, Neo-Conservatives, and Neo-Liberals) want school choice. They’re preaching voucher systems. Where is this voucher money going to come from? The government. Against the true libertarian’s creed government will still be subsidizing schools and further subsidizing private businesses all in the name of school choice. Fu##@^ing morons.

They must think the parents and citizens of their communities are stupid. What a load of horseshit!

By the way, the TFA edu-expert is John White, sent by Bloomberg from NYC…another edu-disaster freak show.
