…I have a long post up on the NCEE report on education reform. I think it’s full of good ideas that also happen to be pretty Utopian given the political and budget constraints we face.

It’s not really long, and it doesn’t really cover the big problems, which is that we are politically moving *away* from many of the suggested reforms.
Sorry if my adjective does not meet your high standards. (Or are they not really “high”?)
Anyways, I do agree that our obsession with testing is moving us away from the suggested reforms. But my post was not about that, it was about the unrealistic nature of the reforms suggested.
OK. Sorry for being snippy there.
I think that the biggest thing being left unsaid is that all of these proposals are in direct opposition to the goals of the right (including charter schools; the GOP and the right doesn’t care about the quality of education, but rather sucking the money out for corporate profits).
Given that, what are we supposed to do?
