Elizabeth Green is funded by Bill Gates
Needless to say, I was horrified by Elizabeth Green's Why Do Americans Stink at Math?, which is the single most breathless endorsement of constructivism I've ever seen in the Times. Actually, it may be the only breathless endorsement of constructivism I've seen in the Times.
I read it this morning, just before a meeting with Ed and his editors at Oxford, and as we were rushing to get ready I joked that Green was probably funded by Bill Gates.
Then tonight it occurred to me that I should check.
Chalkbeat: About Us
The Times has no business publishing an advocacy piece, albeit an advocacy book excerpt, without disclosing the Gates connection.
UPDATE 7/29/2014: Bill Gates is very likely the major funder of Elizabeth Green
