An oligarchy/dictatorship takes ownership of all press & media<br />(everything in Haiti was in written/spoken French, NOT the language of the majority of Haitians--Creole is that language, so French broadcasts, papers, not understood by the majority); an oligarchy/dictatorship takes control of the schools, watering down what education is available to the poor & the middle class, closing schools, robbing the schools of funds, etc. Begs the obvious--see that happening in the U.S., all over the country? And then, the carpetbaggers waltz in--now, tell me again why Duncan & Vallas turned up in Haiti after the earthquake? Oh, yes...I smell $$$$ (pledges for earthquake relief from other countries)--let's get those Haitian schools up-&-running, Arne & Paul! I-Pads for every student! K-12 Virtual Schools!! Pear$on tests, to improve learning!!! But, wait, how about water, electricity, school BUILDINGS? Oh, not a problem, says convicted junk bond guy, K-12 perp, Mike Millken--the virtual schools can operate in their homes--you know, their tents or their cardboard boxes. Surely, K-12 V.S. can lead the way in education--especially in Third World Countries!<br />One of which will be the U.S. (here's hoping, says Bill Gates, the Koch Bros. & the Waltons). Then all of those tech-ready kids (including all the people just laid off by Microsoft!) can go work for...Walmart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-38697914736199272922014-07-29T07:50:04.983-05:002014-07-29T07:50:04.983-05:00Gee, no jobs, no water, no healthcare...glad we li...Gee, no jobs, no water, no healthcare...glad we live in the richest nation on earth, not some banana republic.Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
