Personally I think Davos is exposing the long standing dogma which has permeated public education in many regards. A perfect microcosm has presented itself if you will. From my view point the responses from the NEA say it all:
http://www.nea.org/home/69582.htmhttp://www.nea.org/home/69641.htmVouchers create competition between schools and give children opportunities which they otherwise would not receive in a public setting. Yet people are unanimously disparaging Devos simply because she does not hold the same views as they do- saying the exact opposite of what would happen under a voucher program. What they really want is another education secretary who can peddle the same old failing views. Maybe I am biased; but in my state magnet, charter and the like schools seem to be doing well with students. Many parent actually prefer them for the better.
