When there is a revolution, a rebellion of sorts, it is a telltale sign that there is something wrong with a prevailing system.

If education is more than skill performance and is really rooted in the relationship of the child’s mind with ideas and experiences, how could a system of schools every assess it? Relationships might be the only way to cultivate-and assess- true education.

We often assess schools based on how well their students perform on standardized tests. This serves a purpose, but what are the limitations? Why do so many kids in ‘good’ districts still choose other options?

Do people who advocate for school choice make you mad? Does it seem like they don’t care about vulnerable kids or are anti-public school? What if the discussion was never personal? What if it’s just an examination of an economic question?
