yes, i do understand this topic much better than you...
to fatigue.

your promotion is about politics and not about improving education or
the lives of kids in poverty. years ago bracey showed that u.s. students
compare favorably to the students in top rated pisa countries, when
poverty was considered.

berliner's article supports this.

so, if the u.s. truly wants to improve student test scores, it will address
80% of the problem (per berliner)--poverty.

...the outside-of-school variables count for about 3 times the effect of the inside-of-school variables, and they count for about 6 times the effect of teachers on the aggregate scores of classes and schools...

as you state, "We are rich and can afford to do that."
great. get to work...on reducing poverty.

the neoliberal line you follow is a privatization scam.
spawned by smiley cynics who are not trying to improve education.
but, sure, you can 'choose' to believe them.
