"Feeling that a district has become a testing lab for wealthy outsiders"

Critics complain of "[unilateral imposition of] a controversial agenda — replacing principals, opening new schools, placing charter schools inside district buildings — dreamed up by outsiders and consultants who do not understand the needs of their children, and that there is not enough opportunity for input by parents and community-based advocates....'There are so many new things happening, it’s like the idea is just throw it all against a wall and see what sticks.'”

Thank you very much for this report from NY post, that was great to read the original entry, I prefer to get familiar with the information as is. In this case you are not losing any meaning or whatsoever.
