On Point interviewed Education Secretary Arne Duncan - worth the listen --
The U.S. secretary of education always has a big bully pulpit. President Barack Obama’s brand new secretary of education, Chicago’s Arne Duncan, has a big bully pulpit plus a huge pile of stimulus money — one hundred billion dollars — to shake up American education.
That’s historic. Today we’ll talk with the Secretary Duncan about his plans for America’s schools. About testing and charter schools, teachers unions and No Child Left Behind. About how he hopes to make American education competitive again.
This hour, On Point: U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
You can join the conversation. What’s your question for Secretary Duncan, America’s education man of the hour?

I listened to this in the car and was pretty impressed. There's an article in the Washington Post that said much the same. I like what I'm hearing. He makes valid points and God knows Paige buried the drop out rate and played the numbers. This shouldn't be gaming numbers but educating children. This guy seems to know from his success.
This is so right on. I teach and I like what this man has to say.
