An honest and thought-provoking article about ONE man's experience with SSA as a member of the LDS church. (I emphasize "one man" to avoid anyone mistakingly thinking that the author is advocating his choice for all people and situations, or that I believe his choices can or should be applied to all people and situations). I'm just happy that there is a growing open and respectful dialogue on this sensitive and complex issue.

"Oh look, public schools are FAILING! But don't you worry, I have just the thing for that!"
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Arne Duncan and his charter buddy John W. Rogers Jr. (among others) are intentionally exacerbating the problem in our public school system in order to create a greater demand for something they just happen to sell?

Public Education
I'm disgusted with policy-makers who continue to disregard every scrap of research-based information and instead of listening to professionals in the education field, continue to cater to lobbyists and other politicians that are only looking out for their own personal interests. No Child Left Behind is perhaps the worst education legislation ever passed, but I can't say Race to the Top is much better. It's obvious there is a problem in our nation's public education system, but the measures being implemented to "fix" it are so counterintuitive and counterproductive it would be laughable if it weren't so alarming.
