It's OK to criticize public policy, in my book. But when you say disparaging things about Star Trek, that's going too far! The supposed 'Star Trek' method is: "(1) set a goal; (2) tell subordinates—in this case, state and local education agencies—to “make it soâ€; (3) watch as they use powerful technologies to accomplish this goal; and (4) repeat as needed." Well, that would be a poor approach to educational planning, I agree. But that is not how Jean Luc Picard - who is quoted with the phrase "make it so" - operates. It seems to me important that, if you are going to use a move as an example, to watch the movie first. This talk is from 2002, it is more recently revised, and it was cited on WWWEDU today, which is why I linked to it.
