Nice ironic commentary responding (finally) to the oft-repeated mantra that public services, such as schools, should be run like a business. "After months of hearing the 'scandal de jour' from insider trading to shredded documents to doctored accounting and audits to phantom partnerships to lavish stock options and the like, I haven’t heard anyone suggesting lately that schools need to pattern themselves after business.... It isn’t all about money; it is also about values and human dignity. It shouldn’t be about greed; it should be about goodness."
