ROTTEN APPLES IN EDUCATION: 2006 EDITION
Education researcher Gerald W. Bracey has done it again. This much-respected education outsider has released his annual list of “Rotten Apples” that points fingers at foolishness and malice and bad science in the education world. 2006 winners include: Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings for her belief in the absolutely purity of NCLB; Neil Bush and Barbara Bush for questionable business practices related to an educational software company; George Will and other advocates of the 65 Percent Solution; Thomas Friedman, journalist and author of “The World Is Flat”; ABC-TV’s John Stossel for his alarmist reporting; and a few select others.
