Everyone's got an opinion about education. Those are free. Evidence? We don't need no steenkin' evidence!
"A movement to standardize and professionalize K-12 education began in the Progressive Era. Consolidation may have accomplished some of its goals, but America’s largest districts today tend to be among the lowest-performing."
Especially never mind The Journal of Educational Research [https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/vjer20 https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/vjer20] The experts at the Wall Street Journal will be fair and balanced. This year, size is the problem.
"I been to school myself and I don't need them pointy-heads to tell me what's wrong."
- heyda 4y agoThe size is the problem when your a private/charter shill, this dude has written books about it lol "The Urban School System of the Future: Applying the Principles and Lessons of Chartering (2012)." Step 1. break up large school districts, Step 2. open up charter/private schools, Step 3. collect tax money for 2-3 years while providing no educational value and shut down before any mandatory education minimums kick in. Step 4. Repeat steps 2-3 It's big brain.
- 8bitsrule 4y agoAfter getting a degree in Ed., I taught 9-12 science and math (5 preps each day) for 3 years (those poor kids) before I ran away screaming. Of course, YMMV. The background of 'my' district superintendant (an elected position) was that he had been a Colonel in the Army. He made damn sure I arrived by 7:30 a.m. each day.
