TIME Magazine's 12 for '12

Ugh
More like 0 for 12, if this is the best we've got.
Sad that the focus is on education activists, rather than educators. There really is a difference. There is only one practicing educator in the group. John Hunter's global game is wonderful, but won't be scalable, because it's not testable. Matt Damon, though I appreciate his passion in speaking up for us, is not offereing anything new. And we all know that state supes don't have to have any ed chops. In my state, it's an elected position, so whoever gets the most attention is likely to get the votes.
