hope you didn’t miss your favorite ed guy, Lloyd Thacker on the Today Show. Man, I hope his PR team gives him better talking points, since he was creamed by the editor from USNews.



BB, thanks for mentioning it. I did not see the piece, but it does not surprise me. I have often compared him to a mad dog who barks at every passing car without knowing WHY he does it. I have seen other interviews abd he does poorly as it shows how limited his views and understanding of the issues are.

Most of his “ideas” are deeply flawed and hypocritical, even when --by accident-- he ends up attacking the Peer Assessment.

Lloyd Thacker is a hired mercenary who is a mouthpiece for colleges. He does not represent the interests of families and students --despite his claims.
