“Let’s hope D.C. public school students are too busy with their studies to pay much attention to the officials overseeing their school system. Goodness knows those adults are teaching lessons that students should never learn. The first instruction, ably conveyed by the deputy mayor for education, Victor Reinoso, is that it’s not what you know but whom you know. For those unfamiliar, Reinoso handed in an assignment with his name on it. The assignment, however, contained a great deal of another person’s work, specifically: language lifted verbatim from an education plan developed in a North Carolina school district.” (05/26/07)
