Great quote from a public school teacher

SB 24 seeks to inject a private sector business management model into public school education.  Not a wise decision – education decisions should not be left to non-education professionals with good intentions.  A business model is good for buying clothes, cars and food – and has limited application to the science of learning and the art of teaching.  Business models offensively view children as objects to be mass produced in an education factory, earning the stamp of “Made in America, approved by standardized tests.”  Business models cannot appreciate how to promote curiosity and a sense of wonder in children – prerequisites for learning, from  which creative potential springs.  This focus on curriculum innovation is missing from SB24.  Even former President Reagan’s National Commission on Education Excellence recognized “ the primary cause of inadequate academic achievement was the steady erosion of the content of curriculum.”
