Check out John Merrow's latest blog: "Be Careful What Your Wish For"

I don't always agree with Merrow, but he tries to be fair (and balanced:).  Anyway, he calls for "new narratives" so I had to share:

 

I hear folks on the right calling for vouchers.  Hello, have they thought that through?  And what about the lefties who want 'individual education plans' for ALL children?  Hello, have they imagined what that could lead to?   We desperately need a new narrative when we talk about public schools.  My thoughts here:

Please post your reactions on the blog. Write me personally if you would like to be removed from this mailing list.

Thanks,

John

Thanks for sharing this Kwesi.  I agree that it is great to hear someone with a national audience using the phrase, "we need a new narrative on public education."  Very much in alignment with what we've been talking about. Let's change the conversation to one that is less about blame and more about assets supporting kids and families.
