    In principle, every American citizen has an equal say in our political process. In practice, of course, some of us are more equal than others. Billionaires can field armies of lobbyists; they can finance think tanks that put the desired spin on policy issues; they can funnel cash to politicians with sympathetic views (as the Koch brothers did in the case of Mr. Walker). On paper, we're a one-person-one-vote nation; in reality, we're more than a bit of an oligarchy, in which a handful of wealthy people dominate.

    Virginia's public education system's fourth place ranking in Education Week's annual Quality Counts report. The rankings are based on four critical areas: the chance for success, K-12 achievement, school finance, and policies related to transitions and alignment.

    Sadly... none of the states got an A or A-. Alas, MS is no longer dead last. Granted they have the lowest C- possible. I know we say that grades are not everything but it is sad that there are no "A" states and our national average is mediocre at best. And, this is not a comparison to other developed countries....

  • One out of five state school superintendents have joined a group that his national foundation created, Chiefs for Change, to rally behind a common agenda.
  • Mr. Bush’s Foundation for Excellence in Education. The nonprofit group received contributions of $2.9 million in 2009, from the foundations of Bill Gates and Eli Broad, among others, and for-profit education technology companies.
  • By eighth grade, Florida students begin to lose their advantage on the NAEP, and by 12th grade, they fall behind national averages.

  • Skeptics point out that other changes could explain the improvements in test scores. In 2002, voters passed one of the nation’s most ambitious class-size reduction plans, over the objections of Mr. Bush. School financing, including for reading coaches, also rose.

    Gerard Robinson (the Secretary of Education in Virginia) joined Chiefs for Change... along with a number of other governors from the south. Oh, yes and Chris Christy.
