Lets not kid ourselves about education

from Mark Naison

Lets not kid ourselves. Wherever public schools are performing badly, or running up budget deficits, they are going to be sold off to private interests. This will not make the schools run better, elminate race and class based achievement gaps, or reduce poverty and inequality- it will however, make profits for corporations, weaken unions, and shrink the middle class. Welcome to our future. It's going to be grim, whether you are a teacher, student or parent.
