The last time I had this queasy feeling about where education is headed, it was 2010 and I was midway through a book about Michelle Rhee’s turn as superintendent of D.C. Public Schools. When I started the book, she was flying high in the press; before I was done, her media stock had plummeted.
That’s how quickly the press pendulum swings, and it’s swinging just as quickly now — this time against charter schools.
