More Cronyism in Education


Well, I mentioned it last week with Bill Maher's post, and here it is again. Neil Bush's Ignite! Learning, Inc. is under investigation by the Education Department's inspector general. It seems federal education money may be inappropriately spent on the company's products for schools districts to use. It also seems the products don't work very well. Take for instance Ignite's Curriculum on Wheels (also known as the COW), an education software program/projector screen on wheels that costs $3,800 a piece (not including subscription costs). It is apparently an overpriced piece of crap.
