May 17th, 2013 - the data scrubbing scandal bears misshapen fruit...

Columbus Dispatch, May 17 - bill_would_force_school_levy

Of all the stupid results that could have have come out of the "data scrubbing" scandal, this one hurts my brain. Pass a special bill to force a public school district to support "selected" charter schools? Charters scrub data far more than CCS did! And the one person in the CCS Administration that tried to ferret out what was going on loses her job? If this is the result of the Dispatch articles, I regret ever talking to them. And a POX on the city and state politicians using this issue to force their special interests on the children of the district. They are twice cheated! Once by the cheaters in the district, and now by the political exploiters! Shame, shame on you all. I used to think Eric Fingerhut had some integrity - I should should know better by now.

The Education Commission Report came out - reimagine columbus education

In my humble opinion, this is a re-hash of previous "private-public" commissions.  And it is pure "Magical Thinking".  Magical Thinking

And the Dispatch swallows the hook...
