  Educational primer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Blum Center - Primer
Educational choice refers to parents' rights to choose their child's educational environment without financial penalty.
Educational choice is a funding policy, not another teaching or schooling reform.
Such vested interests as educational unions and local and state bureaucracies can hardly be expected to welcome a policy change that would end their monopoly advantage and put them in a competitive and comparative environment.

 PRIMER ON THE DIGITAL MILLENNIUM
With educational markets at the center of many copyright owners' businesses, the need to reconcile reasonable expansion of educational uses while preserving the business of selling works to the educational market was at the center of the discussion.
Distance Education is the latest major battleground in the effort to balance educational interests in a federal law that increasingly emphasizes the commerce of copyright.
But if the library and educational communities are unified in their desire to update copyright law exemptions so that online education is treated on a par with classroom learning, then there is a chance that reform can be accomplished in the near future.

 Fair Use of Copyrighted Materials
Educational institutions and governmental agencies are also authorized by a separate copyright statute to publicly display and perform others' works in the course of face-to-face teaching activities, and to a lesser degree, in digital distance education.
The CONFU Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia suggest that fair use requires adherence to specific numerical portion limits, that copies of the multimedia work that includes the works of others should be strictly controlled, and that fair use "expires" after 2 years.
But a nonprofit educational use that is also criticism, for example, the inclusion by a faculty member of a quote from another's work in a scholarly critique, would weigh even more in favor of fair use: about 6 or 7.

 :: BattleCry ::
If current education policies continue unchanged, the California workforce of 2020 is going to be less educated than today's, according to a recent report released by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, and the state's per-capita income will drop more substantially than elsewhere in the country.
In her confirmation hearings, Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings expressed her desire to fix the No Child Left Behind law, but also stated, 'We must stay true to the sound principles of leaving no child behind.' This will be difficult because the 'sound principles' are nowhere to be found.
The 12-1 vote by the regents' educational policy committee means the proposal will not advance to the full board, despite a highly personal, often emotional appeal for its passage from Connerly during the first day of a two-day meeting at UCLA.
