The turnaround plan for Philly schools may look alot like the Chicago upset

So, the Notebook just did a News Flash on the drafy report from the Succeful and Failing Schools working group. It's a pretty good article and discusses how the district is trying to use Chicago's Renaissance 2010 as a model for turning schools over to CMO's. All students should read this article to see where things are headed and figure out what we want to do next.

NewSchools Venture Fund...

So, I googled around on charters and such and found this article, this group NewSchools Venture Fund seems like this huge political juggernaught that's supporting all of these chain charters, we should look more into it. Maybe they can be a national target? Corporate philanthropy...wtf? Since when are school districts "markets" where money flows to the ones that seem to have more potential for free market growth..?
