Spending is up and learning is down, but that was happening before Covid. School bonds are marketed to us using tax dollars to sell us the bond. Lack of accountability makes the whole arrangement even more expensive. If the 'end all, be all' is only STARR metrics, students and teachers are merely data points with insufficient identifiable learning.

What IS ed reform? Generally:
Accountability -testing
Change the standards
Merit pay, or pay for performance

Listen in to learn what this movement entails. Teachers work with the students they are given, and they don't all come in to the classrooms with the same acumen or previous educational experience. Throughout the semester or year they also learn and grow at different rates and respond differently. We all want our kids prepared for the real world, but today, it looks like the current reform needs reform!

It's possible that we've become data-wise and student-foolish. New technology in the classroom isn't solving this problem, here's why.
