A lot of our damn education policy follows a logic that looks an awful lot like the logic of slavedrivers.

That is: rather than improving resources, we increase punishments to extract more from laborers.

But even better: we ADD to their labor the measurement of their own labor!! We make the measurement of their labor the bulk of their labor!!

God, No Child Left Behind was the worst fucking idea anyone has had in years.

The fundamental unchangeable fucking problem is: you want schools to provide equality of opportunity in a wildly unequal society.

And yet, you don't want to provide the wildly disproportionate resources that would make up the gap for poor families. Y'all are a mess.

agree w/your cogent commentary, especially w/my 24 yrs experience working in the Catch 22/damned if you do or don’t of public schls.
