I could not agree more about vouchers. I often discuss Kozol's work with my students, because it helps to teach them to value their own educational experience. No matter what your politics, you have to be ashamed that such circumstances still exist in America. There are solutions, but as in all other areas of life, they will cost money, and time (which really is also money), and most importantly, someone will have to care enough to make solutions possible. The hidden agendas in education disturb me greatly. No one agenda has a monopoly on the truth, and no one agenda can solve our problems- we need an agenda for the schools (imo) based on pure quality- and one which embraces many solutions- because no one solution will fit all our needs in this huge country. Garbage men in our area make more than teachers- what does that say about the children in our area? Are they less important than refuse? I don't think so (not to minimize the great work garbage men do- I'm really grateful someone takes away my trash, but the most important job I can think of, is taking care of the next generation.)
