    This brings up a point of contention that I had with Kennedy. She seemed to be advocating for a more uniform approach to school reform in which teachers did the same things the same ways so that all children had access to the same education. I think it is important, however, to realize that one-size-fits-all doesn't always fit. It would be much easier to reform schools if it did, but our schools have to rely on individual teachers making individual decisions for individual students, a much scarier proposition. That means every school must have access to good teachers and every teacher must be trained to make good decisions given a variety of circumstances. That's much more difficult than the reform efforts that have been put into play so far.
