Hugh Bailey: Public schools are worth the price

Hugh Bailey:

Since the state (CT) passed education reform a few weeks ago, we should be looking forward to the prospect of more help for struggling schools. Instead, we're probably looking forward to more teachers losing their jobs.

Because school reform, at its base, is not about education. It's about money.

In some cases, that means cashing in. You'd have to be blind to think there aren't people looking to get in on the giant pile of public education money in this country. That means testing companies, privatizers and more. But that's only a part of the story.
