After finishing the last entry, I realized I should write something about Friday’s USDOE proposal on ESEA reauthorization. But procrastination is sometimes a serendipitous thing, thanks to the Fordham blog: Mike Petrilli’s analysis is correct, at least on first approximation. A narrative framework is not statutory language, Duncan’s proposal isn’t George Miller’s, and other Beelzebubs squatting in the filigree, but I had the same general reaction Petrilli did.
I’ll write more about ESEA reauthorization later in the week.
