In a last ditch effort to blog this month (on the very last day), I'm posting a recent profile of Arne Duncan, US Secretary of Education . Although he was never a teacher, or even a principle, he manages to intuitively know what is best for America's public schools. As a charter school teacher, It's good to hear that he supports charters and even "merit pay". I am also happy to hear that, while states are going broke, federal funding is available for schools as part of the Race to the Top fund.
