They are already ahead of many on this. School Choice is about TRAINING Not EDUCATING. Most major districts are already interlocking with the beloved Chambers of Commerce nationwide, NGO’s,etc..forming corporate-packed interest on charter school boards to inform on what education should look like. 21st Century Learning, “Human Capital” Officers at every big city district. I’m sure that Trump backing SC is about bridging with corps and their workforce needs.
They aren’t gonna be teaching Shakespeare or Beowolf anymore. Cursive is already gone.
Well, as I've said before, I opted out of cursive in grade school in 1959 and got away with it by demonstrating my preternatural printing speed to my 6th grade teacher at my desk, at her request. I remember the moment. They aren’t gonna be teaching Shakespeare or Beowolf anymore.
This, to me, is a different matter. Although I do have to admit I never read Beowulf( ahem. )
... but Shakespeare! Well, you're going to learn about Shakespeare from our culture, at least at this point, but you just won't know that's what you're learning. Shakespeare is the Pierian Spring of our language, and it's surely a shame not to visit there.
