The Strange Case of Conflict of Interest against Dr Lorna Earl

Michael Fullan acolyte, Dr Lorna Earl is under investigation by the Conflict of Interest Commissioner for possible conflict of interest because of her dual role as Chair of the EQAO and a principle in the private company known as Aporia Consulting which advises school boards  about how to improve EQAO scores. A  Journal known as The Daily Censored elaborates on this case and ropes in McGuinty’s key education advisors Michael Fullan and Avis Glaze as well.

The Daily Censored exists to shine a light on what it considers under-reported stories. The Little Education Report draws your attention to the posting by The Daily Censored without further comment. Draw your own conclusions.

Hugh Mackenzie’s CCPA Analysis Puts Heat on Some Provinces.

I’m not quite sure what the Ontario progressive education movement would do without Hugh Mackenzie offering his services in understanding education finance. He has done it again with a study for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) which will put a lot of heat on many provincial governments, I would say especially Ontario and BC to “up their game” in education funding from now on. Mackenzie has juxtaposed all of the Canadian provinces and American states per pupil expenditures with of course, the exchange rate factored in.
