He has a few articles he's written that have been published in six or seven places, but I can't seem to find out any information about him. I know he worked with a conservative think tank. I know he lives in the town where I grew up. However, he doesn't interact on any social media, doesn't blog, doesn't have contact information up, etc. Nobody seems to know anything about him and yet districts have spent millions using his consulting firm over the last five years.<br /><br />Once you get into the inner workings of the ELL legislation, it gets really shady. People are making a hefty salary consulting on topics where they wrote the legislation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-44241023103994277072012-08-11T07:05:59.862-04:002012-08-11T07:05:59.862-04:00Dear Anonymous,

Broad Foundation</i>, like the <i>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation</i> and the <i>Walton Family Foundation</i> are open about their philosophies and their goals.<br /><br />Arne Duncan is a bit more opaque, but more because he sticks to sound bites--I suspect he's none too bright. His Katrina comment is one of many comments that suggest this.<br /><br />If indeed you "have never seen such an angry response," well, you need to broaden your horizons. I am flattered that given your apparently limited exposure to words, you chose to read and respond to mine.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-66544589614141643702012-08-11T01:14:52.341-04:002012-08-11T01:14:52.341-04:00Wow!
