How to fix our schools: A manifesto by Joel Klein, Michelle Rhee and other education leaders - 16 views

has left our school districts impotent and, worse, has robbed millions of children of a real future
-
Why are district's impotent? If administrators do their job and a) mentor young teachers and b) remove them if they are ineffective the system can work!
-
Yes. In the districts where administrators work the system does work. Unfortunately these mega-district administrators think that their job consists only of firing bad teachers. The hardest work is giving the good teachers the resources they need to continue excellent work!
-
-
District leaders also need the authority to use financial incentives to attract and retain the best teachers.
-
And yet, studies show that merit pay doesn't work!
-
That's right. Socio-emotional learning, one of the most important kinds for the development of good citizens, defies standardized testing.
-
How about we raise starting pay for teachers to $60,000 per year. Make teaching a profession more top notch students want to major in.

but let's stop pretending that everyone who goes into the classroom has the ability and temperament to lift our children to excellence.

An experiment by the researchers suggests that it might be better to let the apples, oranges and locomotives stay in the real world and, in the classroom, to focus on abstract equations, in this case 40 (t + 1) = 400 - 50t, where t is the travel time in hours of the second train. (The answer is below.)

As for the teaching of history, Ms. Ravitch argues, the sort of censorship being practiced today by textbook publishers can result in all manner of distortions and simplifications. For instance, to insist that depictions of women as nurses, elementary-school teachers, clerks, secretaries, tellers and librarians perpetuate demeaning stereotypes is to minimize ''the barriers that women faced,'' and to pretend ''that the gender equality of the late 20th and early 21st centuries was a customary condition in the past.''
