-The CPAs who run our Statehouses these days love any quantity they can measure to the 5th decimal place — they couldn't care less if has anything to do with genuine learning, much less the qualities of caring, character, citizenship, creativity, critical thinking, and culture that they have no clue how to run through their strainers.  So they'll measure what's easy to measure and ignore the rest, dragging us back to the 1-dimensional mentality of behaviorist pigeons and rats that professional educators left in the decimal dust 30 or 40 years ago.  But hey — What they don't know don't count as knowledge.

 Unless governments use tax dollars to “Promote The General Welfare” well in advance of each individual's need, there is no public street anywhere to patch any potholes in, and there is no public school anywhere to pay for any plays in.

		+
		+	Waiting For SuperFraud
		+
		+	Here's a good article that will help Michiganders and other observers understand the brand of PR blitz — bankrolled by the Billionaire Boys (and Betsy) Club — that we can expect to see broadcast all over Detroit and Michigan in the upcoming year:
		+
		+	Michael T. Martin • “Waiting For SuperFraud”
		+	• http://ksdcitizens.org/2010/12/22/waiting-for-superfraud/
		+
		+	The invasion of cash from so-called “philanthropists” is what is known in the Biz as a “Loss Leader”. Big bucks will be pumped into the system to make it look like the reforms are a smashing success. If that strategy works the way it has in other States and Washington, DC, a lot of data will get cooked and lot of Agenda-Driven Statistification (ADS) will get trumpeted all over the Corporate Air Waves in order to make it look like there was any improvement at all.
		+
		+	o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o
		+
		+	Comment 6
		+
		+	Waiting For SuperFraud (cont.)
		+
		+	Never mind the small stuff, the truth won't matter. More big bucks will be pumped into rah-rah ads and corporate media “documentaries” to cover up the facts. By the time the Public figures out what is really going down, the school system will be so far down the road to privatization for corporate cash, command, and control that it will take the People all they can do to keep any shred of equal opportunity education at all.
		+
		+	You have to understand that these people are not philanthropists — “lovers of humanity” — they are investors. They don't give money away — they invest money for the sake of making more money, acting in tandem with their ego-driven need to force their personal ideology on the rest of the world. It does not make an ounce of difference to them if they have to destroy the American way of life — it's just so much collateral damage in their war on public education.
