Former Education Secretary Arne Duncan recently stepped away from his ventures to discuss his new book How Schools Work: An Inside Account of Failure and Success from One of the Nation’s Longest Serving Secretaries of Education.

Few teachers were impressed with Duncan in this role. He never worked in a school. He’d never been a teacher. He never faced the difficulties teachers face.

I have not read his book. I know who Duncan is by what he did (or failed to do) when he led public schools in Chicago, as education secretary, and by his actions now.

If there’s any doubt about Duncan’s role as education secretary one only needs to look at what he supports today. He’s a cheerleader for more privatization especially through technology.
