Joseph Natoli, Truthout: "If we accept the assumption that we think inside a personally determined box which is itself inside a 'Let Markets Rule' larger box, we need to acknowledge that such a state of affairs has much affected conditions 'here on the ground.' I mean that what we think comprises a 'good education' has already been affected by market values. An example: we think of 'problem solving' and not 'critical thinking.'"

Corporate Media Push Wrong Story on Obama's Relationship With Business

Rose Aguilar, Your Call: "President Barack Obama is hoping to 'mend ties' with big business by speaking to the US Chamber of Commerce (COC), Washington DC's top lobbyist. That's the frame we're hearing in the corporate media even though the President has extended the Bush tax cuts, recently named JP Morgan Chase executive and former COC board member William Daley as his chief of staff, and chose General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to head the new 'White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.'"

US Education: Show Us the Money!

By Bill Walker

The US government spends more per pupil than any nation in the world except Switzerland. The US spent an average of $149,000 for the K-12 education of every 2009 public high school graduate. That works out to $11,461 per year or so.
