Schools as Ecosystems: The Hunger Games: Race to the Top!: "To hear Duncan tell it, he enjoys watching states starved for funding step all over each other for a piece of the federal pie almost as much as I enjoy reading a good book. He enjoys it so much that he recently decided the fun shouldn't be limited to struggling states-- he wants districts competing against each other! Sound familiar? Listen, as the master of ceremonies explains:
"I love that we played at the state level. I love that we played in the early childhood space... But I'm really really pleased now to have a chance to participate with districts, and there's a huge appetite there."
What's all this "playing" that Duncan's talking about? I guess from The Capitol, the fight for funding might look like fun, but from an overcrowded New York City classroom, it looks a lot more like The Hunger Games. Then again, Duncan's never actually worked in a classroom, so we shouldn't expect him to understand."
