We need to reward reforms in education that are driven not by Washington, but by principals and teachers and parents. That's how we'll make progress—not from the top down, but from the bottom up.

 

what are we reforming to? 

we need this to be a people agenda... not a curriculum agenda.

that's great that they overcame.. super. lovely.

but did they become themselves? or did they just succeed at a definition of success given to them. how many of them will be happy and successful per their definition 5 years from now, 10?

again - great. but we can do better. we can't not do better.

nothing is for everyone. let's facilitate that.
