Most internet marketers who are having success these days are promoting Cost-Per-Action, or CPA offers. This is because affiliates don’t need to complete high cost sales in order to get credited for a conversion.

It is crystal clear that Conflict of Interest rules don’t apply at the top of the DOE. The President of McGraw Hill sells the NYCDOE ACUITY for $22M/year and then leaves McGraw Hill to become the Chief Operating Officer, all along sitting on Stocks from her former employer. Her husband, a top US DeutscheBank executive is actively involved in creating portfolios focusing on EdTech firms, including McGraw Hill and College Board Affiliates, another former employer of our current Chief Operating Officer. I’m not saying that any of this is illegal, but it certainly calls into question who really is running the NYCDOE.

NOOOOOOOO! Andrew, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Freedom of the press will not be slain by your Mayor Bloomberg and his henchmen. I am the ghost of John Peter Zenger and I have returned on this Halloween to protect young Meredith.

Last week we witnessed the suspension of democracy in Bloomberg’s New York. So why should anyone be surprised that Freedom of the Press is also a thing of the past?

Interesting that DOE officials are so sensitive about their personal wealth; I wonder why? It seems as though Garth Harries is the wealthiest.

Here are tidbits gathered from Google News:

Parents slam fat cat lives of Joel Klein, other Education …
New York Daily News, NY – 23 hours ago

Klein with Garth Harries, who oversees creation of new schools and boasts investments of up to $6 million. Also pictured with Klein is former aide Kristen Kane.
City schoolkids and their families may be feeling the pinch of hard times, but at least five senior DOE advisers had salaries and investments that totaled between $1.7 and $6 million each last year…
Deputy Chancellor Christopher Cerf, who once ran the controversial for-profit education company Edison Schools, had between $1.8 million and $3.3 million in …
The department’s chief operating officer, Photeine Anagnostopoulos, was sitting on stocks and bonds worth anywhere from $2.2 million to $4.8 million.

“It exposes a degree of insularity in this administration,” said David Bloomfield, a parent member of the Chancellor’s Citywide Council on High Schools. .

Elizabeth-great work as always. I have suspected that Bloomberg and Klein have the juice to stop many a story about the DOE for quite some time. Their close relationship with the publishers/editors, those who support a third term points to this conclusion. Education may be the Achilles Heel for the mayor’s third term. But, only if reporters like you and folks in the schools come forward with the true results of this administrations education failures. Let’s hope.
