There is no headscratching if one evaluates James from his own mercinary perspective, which has been consistent for decades and has nothing to do with education "reform". Education is merely a means to an end. | I've also noted in several articles and blogs about him that there is mention about his self proclaimed experience in "communications". Disappointing that no one has ever researched what James means by that. When he was younger he worked for a LA based company that did "political advertising", i.e. propaganda and marketing. Their main client at the time was Nuclear Power companies trying to overcome NIMBY. Later he headed their NYC office. | While he was part of the DeVos USED I was very happy to see that DeVos, and the administration she was a political appointee of, did not take advantage of the best available Goebbels they had. Unfortunately though his new "institue" he is now in a position to be dangerous.R Blewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932369084539938277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-86378002900691062812020-08-11T18:04:47.305-04:002020-08-11T18:04:47.305-04:00I just looked both teacher and newspaper reporter ...I just looked both teacher and newspaper reporter average salaries. They are around the same. 49 years ago, hen I was working for the Caledonian-Record daily paper in St. Johnsbury VT and my girlfriend was teaching high school English, we made the exact same salary.<br />gfb9+2/3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15042279714523455756noreply@blogger.com
