   Nightmare…or crystal ball? I have little doubt that Secretary Duncan hopes to stay in the game. I was horrified to recently learn that Senator Michael Bennet was considered for Hillary’s VP slot. Jeb(!) keeps preaching on education…and in his spare time hopes to by a Major League Baseball team with Derek Jeter. These guys have NO ACCOUNTABILITY for what they’ve done.

   Worse than a nightmare. Armageddon.

   It doesn’t matter- they would both lose.

   “ECOT’s current sponsor is the Education Service Center of Lake Erie West, which has an F in academic performance, driven in large part by ECOT’s horrific academic performance. Lake Erie West risks its ability to sponsor future charters, or even its current portfolio, if it continues with these poor ratings. Which means it has an incentive to dump ECOT, even though the sponsor receives more than $3 million a year just from state mandated fees it receives from ECOT.

   But Brenner’s proposal would soften ECOT’s impact on Lake Erie West and likely keep the sponsor from potentially dropping ECOT.”

   You know what would be a good news article? A series visiting authorizers and listing what they actually do- number of staff, pay scale, and an explanation of how, specifically, they earn the millions of dollars they take in every year.

   The authorizer “cut” of charter school funding is a complete mystery.

   It’s particularly relevant right now because I’ve read some of the proposals for the ed reform national voucher program and they allocate 10% to some kind of vague overhead- administering the funds? 10% of 20 billion is a lot of money.

   How would Rahm be different than Hillary would have been? How would Duncan be different than Rahm?

   Mike had a nightmare. I had a dream. In my dream, Congress came to its senses and reauthorized the Every Student Succeeds Act as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, just like it was in 1965. It was the best dream a teacher could possibly have.
