Just Words?
by Chris Bodenner
Seyward Darby worries that Obama's selection of Linda Darling-Hammond to head his education transition team is a troubling sign for school reform:
During the campaign, Obama deftly appeased all
sides of the policy debate. While appealing to the unions, which have
long been bastions of Democratic support, he also gave great hope to
reformers inside and outside the party by supporting merit pay and
pledging to increase funding for charter schools. In asking
Darling-Hammond to helm the transition--a precursor, some worry, to her
appointment as secretary of education--Obama has suggested that he
wasn't entirely serious about change, at least when it comes to
education.
