Disrupting Ed Monopoly Online

When will the Berlin Wall of the education monopoly be torn down? 

Quote:Jeb Bush on Disrupting the Education Monopoly through Online Learning
by Nick Gillespie, Reason.tv

As governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007, Jeb Bush championed school choice. His first year in office he created a program that offered vouchers to students in failing schools. The program successfully boosted student achievement until it was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2006. Two other Bush-supported programs — one that offers tax credits to business that help send low-income kids to private schools and another that gives vouchers to disabled students — survived the high-court ruling. Bush also expanded the Florida Virtual School, a national model for online public education. Since leaving office, Bush has promoted his reform agenda in other states. He founded the Foundation for Excellence in Education and serves as co-chair of the Digital Learning Council.

Jeb is considered to be the smartest of the Bush kids. He sure is smarter than George W.

Thank God that brains aren't a job requirement as is pointed out daily by Obama.
