Did you read this Mayor Daley? Your civic partners funded the reform movement, now they publish reports citing you as the failure. WOW!

You are losing this game and your plans for transformation are a disaster. It's not working, find something else to do, leave education reform to educators not old rich CONSERVATIVES.
