When a major newspaper calls out a comedy show for missing the boat on criticism of education reform, there's something out of sync. Especially when that newspaper derives most of its income, not from selling newspapers, but from an educational testing service. Yes, I too would like to see what John Stewart and Stephen Colbert would do on education. But I cannot imagine the newspaper, and its ilk, getting off lightly. There are some hard lessons to be learned on how education is managed these days. And some not so pretty stories that have nothing to do with school reform.
