Courtney Ross or Courtney Love?

For anyone who isn't totally sick of the (what feels like) 30-year war between the NESTies and the Rossies, New York Magazine this week has a completely wacky profile of Courtney Ross, the really, really rich woman (and goddess worshiper) who started the Ross Global Academy Charter School.

I've never had to look up the meaning of more adjectives while reading an education story in my life.

Click through and read it, and then tell me you aren't completely dizzy when you're done. I'm pretty sure I got shingles because of it.

Don't even know what to make of it really. Wacky all around.
