This Education Week article about P21 is well worth reading, as is Lynne Munson's no punches pulled post. An excerpt:
[Sawchuk] discovers that this organization, which claims to be concerned with educating students, has a staff consisting entirely of public relations consultants.????That its official address is that of a lobbying firm for tech giants.????And that it was founded, it is now clear, as a means to give tech companies the intelligence they need to sell more of their products to schools.
Yowzer!
