As a top educational theorist wrote me just now about Foster's piece,
"A classical example of writing thirty years of critical scholarship on
education out of history... " Brian McKenna

I don't know what Aronowitz and Giroux have to say, because I haven't read
them, Could you sketch out what they can add.
At a guess, Foster left out going into the sociology of the education, because
he was focusing on it's corporate take over.
I learned a few things like how Gates was interested in developing the
teacherless classroom. This is truly a sick joke.
I learned about Eli Broad, which I had already half discovered was behind the
Broad Residency requirement for LA's Superintendent job. What a hoax that is. I
hope the LA teachers/parents get that job application thrown out.
I read the essay. It was fine and summarized the corporate assault pretty well.
From a writing point of view, I though it was ponderous, making the same point
over and over, but that's a style point.
