Quote
Reformers tout the no-excuses culture in which a good teacher can cure what a century of economic and social policy has been unable to correct. This strikes me, and many others, as disingenuous, if not magical, thinking. What’s more, for the children who don’t need the foundational skills on offer (because they are getting them from their everyday life outside of school), it’s a raw deal. And for those who do need the foundational skills, the unidimensional approach offers only a very temporary salve.
