Once again, I am compelled to write. President Bush, the education President, has called for an Education Summit with the nation`s governors on Sept. 27-28. These governors-many of them practicing attorneys, few, if any, practicing classroom teachers-will be sitting down to forge this plan for reform.

They will be drawing this remarkable plan without the key players:

educators! This is typical Bush style. He has targeted the National Education Association-the nation`s largest and most prestigious association of educators-as an enemy of education, so no wonder its nearly 2 million members are bypassed in his reform efforts.

Just how meaningless will his package be? Just how wasteful will this plan be? Just how stupid can a man be?
