school reform
Brooks, David. (2024, Nov. 14). How the Ivy League Broke America. The Atlantic. Online: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/12/meritocracy-college-admissions-social-economic-segregation/680392/.The above article was given to me for free, for some reason; usually Atlantic articles are behind a paywall.
In my opinion school reform is a necessity and this article addresses the problem squarely. It is clear that education has failed and that the system has set up a distrust of the educated people that we were counting on. Need I say more? The article is good in identifying the problem and giving some concrete solutions. It's a start.
This is a topic that is close to my heart, having worked in academia most of my life. I now find that my special-education kids, the remaining ones, are underserved or failed by the modern schools, and it's not really the schools' fault. Teachers are the saints they've always been. Something (besides the pandemic) has gone wrong, very wrong, and we need help.
