Gary Rubinstein gave a delightful talk about education reform and its distortions at his alma mater, Tufts University, in April.

It is very enjoyable. Please watch.

Thank you for sharing this! It helped pull things together for me. (Gary did a terrific job and was entertaining too!)

I am thrilled that Tufts has stood its ground supporting public schools unlike Tulane and many other schools that have been co-opted by corporate “reformers.” I enjoyed this entertaining overview of “reform.”

Michelle Rhee looks very scary, even without her broomstick.

It is very apt that she is casting a dark shadow in that photo.

The shadow of Rheeform
Is darker than a storm
A flying monkey cloud
That’s also very loud
