Thank you for this article. I must note t...Darcie,<br />Thank you for this article. I must note that 8/2012 Smarick left the NJ DOE to work with Bellwether. Bellwether being closely connected to NSVF. NSVF is mostly comprised of TFA grads with excellent education in public policy and little to no educational experience. Another "experience" that appeared on their resumes frequently was "Bain".<br /><br />I found it interesting that if you read any of their blogs (such as Smarick's flypaper http://www.edexcellence.net/about-us/fordham-staff/andrew-smarick.html)they do not discuss the attributes of "deformed" education but how to win the "war"! To me, they are like little lieutenants sent out to battle for reform. All in the non-profit "army" with the purpose of win at all costs (and to keep themselves employed)without regard to what they are fighting for! As you have seen, they regard Education simply as a multibillion dollar monopoly and they want a piece, if not all, of that money (for themselves and their billionaire backers) at any costs!

He was deeply offended, or perhaps defensive. <br /><br />Yes, when the Commissioner of Education sits before the NJ State BOE or any board or any group of people and lies, he ought to face consequences. I suggest that the brilliant blogger raise this very issue before the NJ State BOE on January 16th at open testimony. The first consequence of his lies would to be called on it in front of the Board that was lied to, and to go on permanent public record.....<br /><br />Just a thought Crusader. Either way, keep it coming!<br /><br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003814941132010913noreply@blogger.com
