BellaOnline Forums Education School Reform Criticism of Reform Not Welcome

Top-tier reformers like Arne Duncan and state superintendents don't want to listen to the valid criticisms of parents, principals, and teachers. They meet complaints by taking the high ground, equating their untried, testing-heavy education reforms with the moral struggle for civil rights.



Criticism of Reform Not Welcome

Thank you Maeve for shining a light on the pernicious practice of testing our kids into a stupor in the name of improving educational outcomes.

Connie,
Our public schools have fallen under the control of corporate number-crunchers who know very little about the educational needs of children, but a lot about inventory, profit margins, and advertising technique.

Thanks for commenting.

You are absolutely right...and they do not take kindly to criticism.
