This sounds promising. Sounds like a sense of urgency is developing that I haven't seen before:
Commissioner Tony Bennett resigns. School grades drop. Welcome to Florida's version of 'reform'
It's a fascinating little world these reformers have created for themselves one where they claim success whether scores rise or fall.
That's why I neither celebrate nor lament Bennett's resignation Thursday. He wasn't our main problem. He was merely a figurehead for it a high-profile cog in a machine hellbent on undermining public schools.
They want less money for traditional schools and more money for private ones. And they promote schooling that values testing over education.
It started with Jeb Bush. And it's been on steroids ever since with Gov. Rick Scott and the GOP Legislature.
