[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be interesting to see how MCPS writes the RFP-and whether they try to tailor it to favor Discovery Ed (although presumably Discovery Ed already has a lot of inside information about what MCPS wants due to all the ex-MCPS employees there.)  hopefully McPS learned from the bad press from the Erick Lang incident and will choose more wisely this time around.[/quote]

Discovery Ed broke apart from Discovery.  I'm not sure how they're operating but yes, the group has quite a bit of insider knowledge. [/quote]

Francisco Partners, a technology private equity firm, controls Discovery Ed. I believe their strategy will be on of increased online education, leveraging discovery video content, and selling the curriculum abroad. Of course good ol marty creel and erick lang - the idiots who whipped up MCPS C2.0 - are in charge.  I don't think they'll hack it have a PE guy on the board so the'll probably get fired unless they reel in some lucrative contracts within 0-3 years. Then Discovery Ed - IF SUCCESSFUL - will sell itself to a corporate or another PE player, or go public.

Either way, any U.S. school district with a brain should stay away from that nonsense. [/quote]
