Will talks about Anne Duncan, the secretay of education in her efforts to make education policy educute minority children. George points out this is Sixties Nostalgia Syndrome romp, common in the Obama administration for this executive many of whom came of age with LBJ.
It is actually much worse. Anne Duncan wants to get minority kids into better supervised classrooms, but the smart kids with good parents have already moved on to more advanced forms of education melded with technology. Here in my home town they are abandoning the traditional classroom and going to personal study, mainly because the main function of today's classroom is not education, but parenting en masse.
Public Education has become a jobs program and a babysitting enterprise for parentless children. Motivated parents are looking for a way out of the system.
