I wasn’t even thinking about that kind of response in my post above, as I don’t generally expect a papers’ discussions threads to work out well. But I have been pleasantly surprised by the variety and range of issues that people have brought up related to this Edweek commentary.

I couldn’t resist participating myself, as it has presented a chance to raise some of the details that illustrate the point — this is trickier than most casual observers seem to think. I would argue it is less an issue of bad intentions, and more an issue of complicated and legalistic procedures and policies interpreted by a gaggle of divergent interests.
