A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.
- W.C. Fields
If you believe that... schools have it all wrong.
Success in business so often comes to those who "break the rules" and create products/services/industries around new paradigms.
School is about keeping and playing to the rules. And it will brutally break those who deviate.
Here is to an education system more encouraging of "cheating". Cheers.
A Sign of the Times
From the Education Sector article Using Technology to Transform Education: "Clearly, conditions are right for reform."
When I started to pay attention to education reform, I never read anything that even hinted at such. An exciting sign of the times.
Teacher Unions vs Wall Street
“Wall Street has always put its money where its interests and beliefs lie. But it is far less common that so many financial heavyweights would adopt a social cause like charter schools and advance it with a laserlike focus in the political realm.
“Hedge fund executives are thus emerging as perhaps the first significant political counterweight to the powerful teachers unions, which strongly oppose expanding charter schools in their current form.”
