Greetings and Salutations
Rick Hess,
Straight Up,
Feb 17, 2010
The new blogger arrives at Education Week straight from a conservative think tank. Rick Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. His latest book, Education Unbound, is a paean to entrepreneurship in education, looking for ways to "free-up" schools to be "more responsive." His most recent column for National Review is Obama's Secret Edu-Judges. Personally, I would be embarrassed by this selection, but I guess Education Week (the Fox News of scholarship) is OK with it (so is Joanne Jacobs, who says "Hess wins my heart by quoting P.G. Wodehouse's characterization of Jeeves" and applauds Hess's second post, It's Not For the Kids).
