There\u27s A Million Heroes in Each Corner of the U.S.A

[Verse 1] Virginia gave us Washington, way back in Sev’nty six Kentucky gave us Lincoln when our boys were in a fix Ohio gave us Grant and Dixie gave us Lee They fought it out and patched it up and made our history If you asked Uncle Sammy who could take their place today He’d rub his chin and with a grin he’d answer in this way. [Chorus] There’s a million heroes in each corner of the U.S.A. In cities and farms They’ve taken up arms The East and West have sent their best the rest are coming from the land of cotton You can bank on ev’ry loyal Yank to fight till the end of the fray When danger threatens they all rally ‘round That’s why the flag has never touched the ground There’s a million heroes in each corner of the U.S.A. [Verse 2] Columbus found America the home of peace and rest And Betsy Ross she found a flag to stand each battle test Tho’ heroes of the past have laid away the gun Their spirits live within the hearts of ev’ry native son Our flag is just as clean today as when it first was made each stripe and star a battle scar and still I’m not afraid. [Chorus

PISA for schools: topological rationality and new spaces of the OECD's global educational governance

This article examines the OECD’s new PISA-based Test for Schools (“PISA for Schools”) program. PISA for Schools is part of the expanding education work of the OECD, building upon main PISA to enable school-to-schooling system comparisons. We examine the development of PISA for Schools, the nature of the instrument, and some initial effects of its introduction. Our theoretical framework focuses on new spatialities associated with globalization and the emergence of topological rationalities and heterarchical modes of governance. We analyze 33 interviews with personnel at the OECD and relevant edu-businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and philanthropic foundations. Pertinent documents and web-based media are also analyzed. We suggest that PISA for Schools provides an exemplary demonstration of heterarchical governance, in which vertical policy mechanisms open up horizontal spaces for new policy actors. It also creates commensurate spaces of comparison and governance, enabling the OECD to “reach into” school-level spaces and directly influence local educational practices
