This morning AEI released an issue brief I wrote about the education components of the ARRA, the federal government's massive stimulus legislation. It takes a look at how the law's push to save jobs and fill budget holes has erected serious obstacles to reform.
In short, though Congress and the administration seemed to think that we could simultaneously stabilize and reform America's schools, the story turns out to be much more complicated.
You can read the full brief????here.
If this whets your appetite, I'll be writing about the stimulus and education on AEI's blog.
