Starting to think we're approaching a real breaking point in education. 15+ years of reform efforts have netted no gains in test scores, the only thing we seem to care about. On a cost-per-point basis, the US has the least cost-effective education system in the world.
It's incredibly silly to think the US can beat cram cultures like China or South Korea at the test score game, and parents watching their kids drag themselves through hours of soulless homework are starting to question whether that's the game we should care about winning.
I think if parents get more chances to see kids being generative — building real things, starting real companies, reading & theorizing w/o prompting, defining their own projects — they'll want that for their kids, despite the fear of losing the test score/college admissions race
Unfortunately, there's not much parents can do about it. If anything, reform efforts are making education more centralized, which means that local communities have less leverage over how their schools work. Private schools & homeschool co-ops will probably have to lead the way
to fix American education, children's time must be viewed as economically valuable again. until then, progress impossible.
@pratyushbuddiga Take the state out of education and give the money back to taxpayers
