Strong disagree, the failure is from no one having incentives or control. There is no bottom up if you have career unelected bureaucrats running the show. That's why it's in bad shape now. I'm thinking things like teachers unions that fought like hell to keep schools closed during COVID even when it became obvious that the virus was not especially harmful to children, parents wanted them open and incredible harm was being done. This is also why schools have grown administrative staff so much over the last few decades. You think an executive would allow for that?
I don't know the answer is necessarily top down but someone needs to make the calls and have ownership.
- bigbadfeline 1y ago> "career unelected bureaucrats" Still sounds like a magic spell, as the first time I've heard it from Musk. Practically everyone on some sort of management position is a "career unelected bureaucrat". Electing each other on properly career-limited and non-bureaucratic positions sounds as much fun as cutting each-other's hair and fixing each-other's windows, if you know what I mean. > You think an executive would allow for that? Executives have a vested interest in as little-as-possible service at as high-as-possible price. Plenty of private schools do worse than most public schools and the only reason they don't do worse is... drum roll, please... career unelected bureaucrats! > I'm thinking things like teachers unions that fought like hell to keep schools closed during COVID even when it became obvious that the virus was not especially harmful to children" "to children"??? You think teachers are children? The president at the time was hyping the dangers of covid and blaming it on China, he's still blaming everything on China, well half of it, the other half goes to "career unelected bureaucrats".
