An AP story last week concerned Bush's meeting with people to discuss
the problems he's having with the reauthorization of NCLB. When the
story quoted uber-zealot Jeanne Allen as among those present, I
wondered who else attended. Here's the list. John Chambers of Cisco
was not able to attend.
Ed Rust is also the former head (maybe still the head) of the Business
Roundtable's Education Taskforce.
What would you guess was the ratio of information to disinformation in
the room? Anyone got any spare henhouses that need watching?
