Until recently I thought
the CCSS implementation and assessments would speed up the collapse
of our education system. Now, I don’t think so. A collapse won’t be
allowed to happen. Our K-12 system
has been discovered as a perpetual lucrative market by investors and
corporations. Private
corporations, wealthy individuals, foundations, and non-government
organizations have worked hard with our government to create and open up this
market. If they really provide
viable solutions they will see this wonderful market no longer in need of their
goods and services so they will not allow that to happen. If we continue to pump more and more
money into education it will be good for the economy and it will help these
investors and corporations grow and prosper. The academic success of our students is detrimental to this
business model.

Eisenhower warned us about the 'military-industrial complex' and we didn't heed his warning so I doubt we'll heed any warnings about the 'education-reform conspiracy' which I suggest we "exploit" just as those you accuse of already doing so. Unlike the day in which Ike issued his warning, we have many more "weapons" at our disposal. Here is one suggestion:
