Hey, look at this! The Department of Education “has been conducting a ‘Program Review’ of Kaplan University’s main offices in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., since September. The Post business desk seemed not to notice any of this, but Post investors might want to.” Kaplan is the college loan-shark/test prep death company that makes all of the Washington Post Company’s profits, and now Obama’s Education Department is investigating it for looting the federal government in order to make all of those profits, which are dropping anyway, so that’s kind of funny.

I am a concerned parent of two children, one of whom is attending St Rose’s High School currently in his final year. He intends to write Physical Education for CSEC, but this may not be possible since the equipment required for the various practicals are not being provided by the school. When enquiry was made to the Principal about the purchasing of the necessary equipment, the response was to request to have the students borrow equipment from other schools. Must these students borrow equipment from other schools year after year? The school should not offer the subject to be written for CXC if they know they do not possess the necessary equipment.

TALLAHASSEE - Florida’s application for a $1.1 billion share of federal education reform funding could be hampered by a lack of support from teachers’ unions as federal officials begin reviewing submissions from states across the country.
But the concerns aren’t confined solely to unions. Some elected officials and grass-roots groups are concerned that the program would give state and federal officials too much control over schools.
