I was going to give you a whole rundown on the Research Bureau's report on Race to the Top, but then I got to page 4 and discovered a quote from the American Enterprise Institute (take a look at their Board of Trustees) advocating that stimulus funds should not have been used to fill gaps in public education funding, because that kept public education from reforming.
So, by that logic, we just should have let all of the financial sector collapse last year, because that would have caused necessary reform? Or would it, perhaps, just caused the collapse of the economy?
I know what laying off several hundred teachers last January would have done, and I don't think anyone would call it reform.
