Comments on Ptolemaic Schools – Why Reform Won’t Work Teaching and Learning 2.0, 24/7, K-Lifelong 2011-08-04T15:53:18Z https://www.skipvia.com/blog/?feed=atom&p=317 WordPress By: Skip Skip https://sites.google.com/a/alaska.edu/wwvia http://www.skipvia.com/blog/?p=317#comment-17079 2011-08-04T15:53:18Z 2011-08-04T15:53:18Z Of even more concern to me is the way that we change how schools work according to political ideology and not educational policy. We swing between NCLB and Race to the Top and whatever “reform o’ the day” happens to suit a political need at the time. It’s unfortunately quite true, as you mention, that vested interests hold considerable sway over our politicians, and that’s a bad proposition all around.
