weighing the lamb kozol

  • The expression “you can’t fatten your lambs by weighing them” may be an expression in southern illinois but it was also used by Jonathan Kozol in his keynote speech to the Children’s Defense Fund in the early 90’s. I know. I have the tape of the speech. Obama likes to take the words of others and use as his own. Comment by catherine - September 10, 2008 at 6:32 am

Kozol weighing the lamb

  • Kozol came to Amherst to promote his latest book, "Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America," which discusses "re-segregation" of public schools and the difficulties facing schools with a high minority population.
  • Kozol explained the failing of such testing, saying, "You don't fatten your lambs by weighing them. Our lambs are getting thinner yet we're weighing them more often."

    (Listen to an audio version of this essay). I recently heard the author Jonathan Kozol speak about the over-use of standardized tests in schools today. "We're very busy weighing our lambs. That's not the same as fattening them," he said. That made me think of Nelson.
