CT News Junkie | OP-ED | A Few Thoughts On Education Reform: "Two weeks ago, Darryl Robinson, a graduate of DC charter schools, an eloquent, passionate op-ed in the Washington Post, in which he spoke about how he felt his schools had failed to prepare him for college: “I did what I’d been taught growing up in school: memorize and regurgitate information. Other Georgetown freshmen from better schools had been trained to form original, concise thoughts within a breath, to focus less on remembering every piece of information, word for word, and more on forming independent ideas. I was not. I could memorize and recite facts and figures, but I didn’t know how to think for myself. Now, in an attempt to think deeper, I sometimes overthink myself into silence.”
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s stated attitude towards reform is: “I’ll settle for teaching to the test if it means raising scores.”"
