my good friend antero (see my blogroll) recently had his students examine an article written about their school, the school where most of my students end up attending, the school where i have weathered with pride the last 2 football seasons as a JV and Varsity coach… he put some of their responses, to which i have added my own comments via diigo, here: http://www.diigo.com/08jm5
i also had my own thoughts on the original article here: http://www.diigo.com/08jm6 and here: http://www.diigo.com/08jm7
i am, like many others, student and teacher alike, in a very critical – perhaps hyper cynical mood when it comes to education and reform efforts, those being implemented and those being crafted for the upcoming bidding wars of 2010… it feels like a bad episode of a george lucasian intergalactic showdown… sith lords pretending to be leaders of true reform, the republic being torn apart and pieces being given to the highest bidder… i feel like LA’s own version of the educational clone wars has commenced… and i haven’t finished my jedi training…
