Part of an occasional series. Story in the New York Times about the hundreds of millions of dollars the federal government now is spending with private tutoring companies, projected to become billions, in connection with Bush's No Child Left Behind (yeah, right) Law.
The piece talks about the shoddy work some of these companies do and the need to monitor them, which is all well and good. But I'm wondering why it doesn't question the idea of sinking hundreds of millions of dollars, projected to become billions, into private tutoring firms instead of public schools, one of the foundation stones of our country.
