Before you get all teary eyed over Checker Finn's conversion to pragmatism, remember that despite his claims, he is no newcomer to the world of for-profit charters. He was a founding partner in Edison and has been on the trail of ed profiteering for a dozen years. He is the master of managing conflicts-of-interests, like the fact that he is both a charter school authorizer and operator. He's great at flip-flopping, ie. on NCLB without any real self-critique or any kind of apology to those he lambasted, like Jon Kozol, for offering the same critique of NCLB before he did. He Leo.
