CT News Junkie | OP-ED | What It Means To Be ‘Taken Over’: Notes On The Windham School District

CT News Junkie | OP-ED | What It Means To Be ‘Taken Over’: Notes On The Windham School District: "The efforts of Adamowski and of the so-called school reformers have very little to do with education. Whereas in neighboring towns students begin foreign language study in fifth or sixth grade, in Windham students are lucky to have one quarter-term of a language in eighth grade. While it is nearly impossible for parents to speak to Adamowski, he has proven accessible to landlords and business people. The Board of Education, which is powerless, spends their time thinking of how to fundraise for Teach for America, accepting TFA as a Band-Aid solution and a wedge for privatization."
