Riddle Me This…
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011So the teachers unions are in Wisconsin saying that the current fiscal mess there is not their fault but rather the fault of Wall Street. That’s a point I generally agree with. But then their vanguard proposals for reform – eg “peer review” and Randi Weingarten’s evaluation reform proposal last week – basically follow the same underlying approaches that got us into the fiscal mess, namely largely unchecked self-regulation. Is education unique or are we ignoring some hard-learned lessons from other sectors?
