Today seems to be mostly on the economy of learning and education. That's probably because all the tech people are deeply immersed in Google Plus. Anyhow, today we have this, which sems right: "I am quite convinced that many of the policy makers who choose elite private schools for their own and advocate for scaling back the public system, really don’t understand the difference. They really don’t know that their private schools outspend nearby traditional public schools – by a lot – despite serving more advantaged student populations." It's kind of like the people who drive their cars top work every day making pronouncements on how the bus system ought to be run more efficiently. Via Tom Hoffman.
