"Today, education reformers increasingly view our children as fodder for the engines
of economic productivity. Leaders of global corporations, education "experts," and
political leaders, having lost sight of the true ends of education, promote uniformity
of curricula across the nation, validated by high-stakes testing. The time has long
passed for us to recognize that these would-be emperors of the mind … wear no clothes."
- Lenore Ealy, "Is Education Policy Economic Policy"

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
