David Sirota sees the current disastrous era of school “reform” as a shell game that blames teachers and schools while diverting the gaze of the public from the root causes of poor academic performance.
Persist. This too shall pass.

Loved this article for the way it summarized the ed rheeform movement so clearly and concisely (as you can tell by my posting it twice!). It is encouraging to see others outside of our own little sphere begin to see the flaws and disingenuousness of edukational rheeform.

I also like that the title of the article has “data” in it.

“Data” means factual information. When the word is used correctly, the data is definitely NOT on the side of the “reformers.”
The education “reform” movement is another get-rich-quick scheme and soon everyone will know it. Every “reformer” has two things in common: They are making a lot of money and they do not teach.
