Post from Kim Warren's Blog:
Don't Call White Hat Management. They'll Just Hang Up

A new report shows -- once again -- that several publicly funded Education Management Organizations (EMOs) won't give researchers information about their finances.

I guess public funding is one thing, but public scrutiny is quite another.

And manners? Those are about as popular as scrutinty.

Researchers said that the Ohio-based White Hat Management was so reluctant to provide information that an employee answering the phone at their corporate headquarters refused to provide even her name before hanging up on an ASU researcher.

The study is called "Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations: 2006-2007" and it was released today by the Arizona State University Commercialism in Education and Education Policy Research Units.

The data collected in the report suggest that the number of charter schools overall has increased and the number of EMO-run charter schools has stabilized or declined slightly. The number of students enrolled in charter schools has shown a slight decrease.

Calling Miss Manners
By Daily Outrage Aug 10th 2007 at 1:03 pm EDT
I'm not surprised that Dave Brennan tolerates such impolite behavior.

Have you ever seen him? He wears that over-sized, white cowboy hat indoors, and Miss Manners tells us that a true gentleman would have doffed his hat.

Maybe it hides his insecurities. You know what they say: Big hat, small ranch.
  
His representatives lied on radio too
By Jill Miller Zimon Aug 10th 2007 at 2:11 pm EDT
Kim, I blogger a few months ago about how White Hat's representative, on a panel on WCPN's Sound of Ideas outright lied on the air and then, after the show, told the host that he had in fact lied. The question he wouldn't answer? What is White Hat's income? After the show, he told Dan Moulthrop that he knew exactly what White Hat makes but he doesn't tell anyone. Sad, true and scary.

Thanks for sharing that story. These folks are amazing, and given the amount of money we pour into these companies, I can't believe that people aren't marching in the streets.
