Education is one of my interests. I follow it closely. I've been following Obama and the Arnie Duncan education moves since before Obama was elected.

ere is a link to an early WSJ story:

Obama and Ayers push radicalism on schools

The Chicago Small Schools project was abandoned last year, because it wasn't working and it was counter intuitive to the overall goals of the federal education system. The goal is to bring down the white education levels to the level of the minorities, not completely bring them down, but to devalue the diploma and make the college diploma equal to the old high school diploma and an MA equal to the BA. They think by lowering the standards, and handing out diplomas for less work, they are leveling the playing field. It's a kind of head start program for minority high school students. Part of the program is to have a public preschool, all kids start school at three years old. This will help prevent white kids from learning to read before kindergarten and catch learning disabilities in minority students for early intervention. WA State is already taking steps to implement these programs, by putting an appointed official in charge of education that will tell the elected official what to do. They are already moving toward public school preschool, too. The public school preschool would be all day, so it takes the kids out of the homes for longer periods of time and will probably be popular with parents who need day care and don't send their kids to private preschools.
