Masters of PR

Front page of MSNBC tonight and a big story on NBC nightly news ...

"We may have great teachers, but unless we have better leadership we are not going to get the job done." 

I am not going to question the merits or motives of the Broad Foundation or Eli Broad. I am sure they are doing what they think is best and I respect that (although it is hard to understand how teachers are great, but when those same teachers become leaders they somehow become inadequate ... I guess teachers are not meant to be leaders? Not sure I follow the logic there).

But, Eli Broad, and similar education interests, are masters of PR. When is the last time you saw a MSNBC lead story on something positive in education like this?  Of all the things we might learn from business ... PR has got to be at the top of the list.
