Comments on: Ptolemaic Schools – Why Reform Won’t Work https://www.skipvia.com/blog/?p=317 Teaching and Learning 2.0, 24/7, K-Lifelong Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:53:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Skip https://www.skipvia.com/blog/?p=317&cpage=1#comment-17079 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:53:18 +0000 http://www.skipvia.com/blog/?p=317#comment-17079 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.
